Windows is such a joker

Here’s something new I learned about Windows today that made me laugh in a “I’d smash this machine if I could” sort of way:
Take Folder A. Put a file in it.
Right click on the file and Copy it.
Step up the directory tree to the folder’s parent.
Right-click on the folder and Delete it.
Try to paste the file you “copied”. Ha ha screw you, you can’t.
Look in the trash for the folder. Ha ha screw you again, ’cause right-click Delete deletes it right away.
Sucker.
Not like I should expect the Copy command in the system to behave anything at all like the Copy command in an application or well, pretty much everywhere else, after all. Obviously the user should know that right-click Copy is just a pointer to the existing file and not really a copy at all.
