I value that.

I just wanted to point out what my observations are and too I don't want to see that windows stuff (what is the minority in this case) will get more attention or more priority as stuff on linux (which pretty much is the majority, I believe). Don't get me wrong, I see them both as important.

And even on windows there are pathes with colon in it. (read c:\..., d:\...)
