What's worse, its a WONTFIX!

 Not sure what you're talking about. All Microsoft operating systems
going back to MS-DOS have accepted the forward slash as an alternative
path separator.  C:/Windows/System32 is a legitimate Windows-style path.

Yes, you can often use forward slashes for directory separations in Windows - but you can't do so everywhere.  There's no doubt that forward slashes are the standard in the Windows world.

Some incorrectly-written user space programs might not like it.
 

Indeed - and that can be a pain.
However, you can certainly use forward slashes in things like #include directives when using gcc on Windows, or in makefiles - and that covers a lot of my needs for path names!
