I still can't get over that windows boxes can't have more than 23 drives connected, excluding C. Just absolutely hilarious ineptitude. Similarly the case insensitive filesystem makes it so the vast majority of file operations don't work [in all cases like they should].
You should be able to name a drive with any Unicode character. Yes, including emoji.
If Linux did this everyone would make fun of it endlessly
Not true, you can connect as many Drives as physically possible, but they won't all have letters assigned. I think there's a way to access a drive without a letter, but anyway you can still mount it as a path under an existing letter.
don't forget the invisible pseudo-files that follow you around the tree in case you need to print something from a dos program
