NTFS has never had a limit of other than 32K. MAX_PATH limited 260 characters for the Win32 API (among others). It has always been possible to bypass the 260 character limit, though obviously most applications wouldn't work with a file that exceeded the system-defined MAX_PATH value.
Office does its own thing and doesn't leverage MAX_PATH. No idea why.
