In NTFS it's illegal IIRC. At least the fs correction utilities
complain about a block being assigned to two files.
Same with HFS+.
Sometimes there seem to be several things with the same name. But
that's because of hidden extensions (.lnk for example).
I'm talking out of the book here, maybe the real-world implementations
of Windows are different. I can't tell, I only used Windows once to
ssh into a screwed-up router.
