Note that Synfig Studio (http://www.synfig.org/cms/) is "free and open-source 2D animation software" that uses vector and bitmap artwork.

I'm excited about Scala (see Scaling the Cliffs to Scala ), one of the new Object-Fuctional languages

This cannot change with a new operating system. It is part of the NTFS specification.

Unfortunately, it's not simply a case of fixing Windows; there are a lot of applications out there written in unmanaged code which would break if paths were allowed to be longer than 260 characters.

A lot of Windows APIs support long paths (up to 32768 characters) using the "\\?\" prefix [1], but unless every application is re-written to take advantage of these APIs, there's not much point using them. For example, if Windows Explorer used these APIs, it would let you move files to locations where they couldn't be opened by the associated application.

Long file names are kinda tricky in the Windows world, but technically they aren't restricted to 260 characters. This blog post, while about .NET APIs, has many of the gory details and even some of reasoning: blogs.msdn.com/.../long-paths-in-net-part-1-of-3-kim-hamilton.aspx.

I think that Windows 7 still has the same limitation as well.
