Windows' roots are not Unix but DOS, OS/2 and VMS. Microsoft is not 
striving for Unix incompatibility.

By the way, forslash also works as directory delimiters in Windows.

If you need full Unix compatibility, you should use SFU (add-on to Win 
XP) or SUA (Vista and Win7 Ultimate), which gives you a certified UNIX 
on top of the NT-kernel (Interix).
