FYI - Windows filesystems are still case-insensitive with filenames.  For 
example, the names "foobar", "FooBar", and "FOOBAR" would all be the same file.

Yes, the major differences would be case-sensitivity in filenames, and 
anything that's outside of filePro, such as SYSTEM commands.

The other "biggie" to look out for would be the use of backslashes in 
filenames which you may be using.
