Win32 and case sensitivity

Who says the Windows filesystem isn't case sensitive? Courtesy of the FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS flag:

C:\>dir pos*
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 5C18-0618

Directory of C:\

11/18/2004 09:44p 8 Posix1.txt 11/18/2004 09:31p 0 posix1.txt 2 File(s) 8 bytes 0 Dir(s) 87,451,049,984 bytes free
I'm not sure what's happening behind the scenes, because if I open 'posix1.txt', it has the same data as 'Posix1.txt', even though the dir command shows it as having 0 bytes. Hard link?

Kooky.
