One of the many problems is the need to escape it in C/C++ code - like

    LPSTR path = "C:\\Program Files";

They really should fix it. Better late than never.

Or use C++ raw string literals and experience inner peace:

Or use fs::path with the / operator. If you're doing anything with file paths in C++, that class is a godsend.

Or just use '/' if you're talking directly to the API and not the shell or cmd.exe.
