This is a major difference in the two platforms.  ASCII values are different
for uppercase and lower case letters. UNIX (and Linux) uses this to declare
that each ascii value is different, and therefore there are many more ways
to name a file/folder etc.  Windows assumes that upper case lower case may
(or may not) be the same value.  Consider the differing values to be an
asset and take advantage of the Upper case / Lower case difference.
