Linux is the force itself, Mac and Windows are both stormtroopers that try to shoot each other but don't hit.

- Or rather, being tech savvy is the force. You can then choose sides. Personally I'm with the open-force community.

No idea when this happened but you can also use forward slashes in Windows. So typing c:/users into the Explorer address bar works.

- You can even mix and match! C:\tmp/file.txt is valid. Very helpful for cross-os compatibility.

  Does only windows do this or do Linux and mac work with both slashes too ?
  
  I thought linux was pretty strict with this

This is what happens when you have Windows coming out of the CP/M micro operating system family and everybody else is some kind of Unix derivative.
