It's not about Operating Systems (Win, Linux, Mac), but File Systems (FAT,
NTFS, HPFS, UFS, ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS).
Different filesystems keep different metadata about the files, but most of
them don't keep track of the creation time of the file. Have a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stat_(Unix) for a better understanding of the
"ctime" field, which will be, in most cases, the closest you'll get to the
file creation time. Also, have a look at
http://es.php.net/manual/en/function.filectime.php and
http://es.php.net/manual/en/function.stat.php
