You should also suggest that people do this testing on a completely 
unimportant filesystem (i.e. not containing any files they intend to 
ever access again), since they could get stuck with this:

Yes, NTFS supports case sensitive handling, but NO, there isn't anything 
in Windows that uses it, and lots of things that go out of their way to 
do it wrong.

YMMV
