I fear this might be another wad, but at least there's an inconsistency: Some commands accept a unix-style path of the root directory while others do not - "dir /" just shows the current directory while "move /" works and "del /" happily eases all files in the root directory even if actually all you wanted to type is "del /?".
It would be nice to have the "/" forward slash just accept arguments, and reserve "\" for plain file paths unless it's some kind of special case like unc or ftp.
