The filename rules are so weird, it's not just illegal characters, sometimes the position of the character matters. I discovered a while ago that while windows has no problem with dots in filenames, for some reason they can never be the last character in the name

I imagine they rely on file extensions too much, and when they tested a file with an "empty" extension something great and terrible happened to make that rule instead of cleaning up the carnage.
