Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

On Windows, case-insensitivity is part of the API, not of the file
system. NTFS itself is case-sensitive, and there are case-sensitive
subsystems on top of it (e.g. the POSIX subsystem, Interix). Win32, when
calling the file system, asks for case-insensitive lookup (which NTFS
also supports efficiently).

I believe FAT is inherently case-insensitive.
