      Linux uses forward slash. Windows uses backslash. Because some dude 45 years ago wanted to make it look different from UNIX.

        Was that bill gates just to make one of the first incompatibilities in a long long run?

          DOS originally didn’t even support directories but was using / for command line arguments. They didn’t want to change the option character and break stuff so they went with \ as the directory separator.

          DOS wasn’t originally created by Microsoft. They bought the OS from computer shop in Seattle.

        A whole fight in characters:
        / \
        X
        | |
        \ /

        • /
          X
