Cool - when will Windows support the 'fork' call? If they do that and support the '/' as a path separator (which was always there), Windows might get a resurgence.


Because my grandmother cares whether it's / or \ ?


Windows has a POSIX subsystem. It has fork. Not cygwin style. There is kernel support.
