The context in which it was stated makes it's meaning perfectly clear.

Yup.

Windows does not use "/".  If I go to my local home directory, the path 
is: C:\Documents and Settings\jim.CG242268-B
Another example: C:\games\Wolf MP Test\demomain\maps

Windows does not use the '/', it uses the '\'.  So yes, you have indeed 
been staring cross eyed at your monitor all these years.  

Windows will, however, let you type in c:/winnt/system32 into the run 
box, and it will open an explorer window for you to the system32 folder.  
However, even if you do this, the path display will say "c:\winnt
\system32", not "c:/winnt/system32".  try it, it's fun
