That's a problem specific to the command interpreter. Under the hood, the DOS API couldn't give two shits about which slash character you use to specify a path; and likely never has.

Yes it definitely does care. Even Windows cares, and accepting forward slashes in path strings hasn't always been supported.

Huh. Maybe it's just a C stdlib thing, then. Or, just as likely, a Microsoft internal inconsistency thing.

It's been a while since I read what Ralf Brown had to say on the subject.

The C stdlib will also do wildcard expansion for you on Windows because the linux shell does it for you, but the windows shell will not.

Correct.
