I wouldn't be so sure about that. On win98, in "MS-DOS Prompt" I can type 

edit \\server\myhome\file.txt

And it opens it just fine.

Similarly, I can type

dir "\\server\shared files"

I'm sure the DOS utilities just use long file name APIs and those "simply 
work". It should be the same for win32 apps.

This is networking stuff, though. Now as far as virtual namespaces go, I have 
no idea.

This involved some {guid} stuff in the name, but I sure doubt that CreateFile 
would dig that.

Maybe the unix stuff can go under \\__unix\something ?
