I guess my limited experience (including not being a windows programmer) colored my perception.
I had never been able to get any Windows variant I was exposed to, to accept a forward slash. So much for my recall device of Unix Forward, Windows Backward.
Win95 derivates accept only backward, WinNT since always forward slashes also.
This is rather off-topic, but even DOS would properly handle paths with forward slashes in commands that didn't choke trying to parse them into arguments (for example, Info-ZIP's zip/unzip or POV-Ray).
This is an undocumented feature ever since DOS implemented directories.
