Well just to pick a nit: Win/DOS has a somewhat different concept.
I.e., each "drive" (filesystem) gets its own "current directory",
and in addition there's the concept of a "current drive". So that
cd d:\foo\bar
*is* a legal DOS command, but it sets the current directory on drive d:
to the specified value (without changing the current directory for any
other drives), and
cd d:\foo\bar
d:
is equivalent to
d:
cd \foo\bar
