The Windows symlink-like feature is hard to use, and last I tried it, it was nearly undocumented (admittedly that was several years ago when I needed it). On the Windows command line, there was no equivalent to "ln -s". They might as well not exist, for all the good they do there. Maybe Windows uses them internally for something, but no end-user does.

Your info is heavily outdated. It is well supported and well documented these days.
