No idea when this happened but you can also use forward slashes in Windows. So typing c:/users into the Explorer address bar works.
You can even mix and match! C:\tmp/file.txt is valid. Very helpful for cross-os compatibility.
Does only windows do this or do Linux and mac work with both slashes too ?
I thought linux was pretty strict with this
This only works because MS gave in and added some path normalization. The actual path-component separator is still backslash. Sometimes it doesn’t work right, like in cmd if you try and do cd and use forward slashes then autocomplete won’t work even though the command itself works fine with forward slashes.
Linux is the force itself, Mac and Windows are both stormtroopers that try to shoot each other but don’t hit.
Or rather, being tech savvy is the force. You can then choose sides. Personally I’m with the open-force community.
This is what happens when you have Windows coming out of the CP/M micro operating system family and everybody else is some kind of Unix derivative.

Dont worry guys, we can deal with this.
