O Windows 7 introduziu o conceito de Biblioteca, que é funcionalmente um pouco igual ao do UnionFS. De Como usar o novo recurso de biblioteca do Windows 7 :
You could say Libraries are virtual folders. You add folders to Libraries, where you can view and access the contents of each added folder from the single Library window. A Library itself can’t contain any files as they aren’t real folders, but they offer one-stop access to a collection of folders.
Here are several ways you can make use of Libraries:
- Add folders that are scattered throughout your hard drive(s) to Libraries.
- Create custom Libraries. For example, when I start a new writing assignment, I can create a new Library. I could add related folders such as the one that contains the publication’s guidelines, folders on previous work that I think I’ll want to reference, and folders containing any downloaded research.
- Add network locations (shared folders from other computers) to Libraries.
