The Support page on the NTFS-3G website doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. This isn't a case of certain applications on Windows not supporting the special characters, this is a case of the entire filesystem layer on Windows not supporting these characters.

While it is technically not the fault of the NTFS-3G driver, it can still cause problems for the uninformed user who just wants to share files between OSes.

Whatever mechanism we use to prevent invalid vfat characters, it should be added to prevent invalid win32 chars on NTFS.
