To my understanding, the '\' was introduced by Bill Gates and his team when they wanna make an OS that's different from IBM's. IBM used '/', so they created this '\' just to be make it look different. It has been there since the DOS age (or even earlier).=0A=0A=0A=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
