Being a Sun guy, he may have been talking about Solaris, and for Solaris (like the rest of the Unixy platforms), he's absolutely right and this has been documented for quite a while.
For Windows, he's absolutely wrong. You chose to believe to a rumor from a Sun guy, or you can chose to believe Tim Burlowski, a Synamtec NetBackup product manager, who already posted on this. I'll put my money on Tim :-)
