Folks,<p>I primarily develop on Linux but occasionally jump to Windows to write an app or two. I have been programming for 7 years, and Windows has existed for a lot more than that. I am really curious to know why the following bugs have never been resolved:<p>1) A file opened in Read mode by process A cannot be opened by another.
2) Why do we have to work with a backslash for windows paths when even the WWW adopted a forward slash for paths.<p>Also, never understood why a drive must started with [alphabet]:??? Its so clean to do just /mnt/foo<p>Are these even bugs or "Features" :-)
cd do/stuff/now works for me on winXP. You can't reference the root of a drive as / (it must be \ or drive letter:\)but all other path separators can be flipped.
