Actually, I think the answer is the other-way around. The
CreateFile() WIN32 API supports slashes. Applications that
parse filenames in any way probably don't.

(And in fact, cmd, will interpret a / as an option... which
is why cd /x/y/z doen't work. Apparently, explorer also,
I speculate this is the reason for the switch to large icons.

And I don't think anything I said change the conclusion you
drew though.
