What I really like is a naming files with a forbidden windows character in Linux and they wont copy over to a windows partition. I end up using a question mark quite a bit for some reason.

touch 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32'

Or just name the file con. Windows 95 even used to bluescreen if you tried to refer to con\con.

Sure there was mirc bug back in the day if you named yourself something like con or ps2 or any windows device name it would freeze that device on the windows machine.
