Sorry, I'm honestly at a loss as to what you were demonstrating there.
Let's do the same thing, but with underscores.
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ touch windows
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ touch 7
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ touch windows_7
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 7
-rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 windows
-rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 windows_7
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ rm -rf windows 7
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 windows_7
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$
In both cases, it did exactly what we asked it to.
Spaces had absolutely no bearing on anything.
