Significantly older NTFS versions only supported absolute symlinks in
the form of "junctions", which were stored on disk in terms of the
kernel namespace name of the drive containing the target directory (junctions cannot link to files), but I don't remember the exact cut-off
OS version that introduced general NTFS symlinks, which may be different
from the version that added mklink and other UI support.
Windows 2000 added support for Junctions. Vista added Symbolic Links
and mklink. Windows 2000 had no inbox tools at all, but the resource
kit had linkd, and Sysinternals made junction. Today there's plenty of
tools available.
