Did they intentionally use only folder names with spaces that are at least 9 characters long and with the space after the first 6, so that the 8.3 version contains no spaces?
Pretty clever if so :D

I was curious about a deep dive into this topic, and skimmed the MS doc pages after a Google search. They mentioned different Windows APIs and Long file names, but the only mention of the tilde compat layer I found was very superficial ("some file-systems" use the tilde as special character), so I abandoned my initial interest in getting up to speed on this during a 2min weeekend read.
