touch 'foo:bar'

And dir in Windows shows:
13.06.2007 14:24 0 FF4GBY~Q

You can 'del "FF4GBY~Q"' though.

The problem is not being able to share the linux directory over the network to a windows box, it is trying to open a file with invalid chars. When a file contains invalid DOS chars, it will display incorrectly and windows will not be able to play it.
