No, it doesn't.  "/" is a command switch (analogous to "-" in Unix).  GNU
Emacs compiled for Win32 is supposed to translate "/" in paths to "\".  On
this, I think Fabrice goofed; GNU Emacs will pass the correct directory
separator to the OS.

On this Fabrice is correct; neither COMMAND.COM nor CMD.EXE (the two
Windows command interpreters) support CD with a drive spec.  4DOS and 4NT
do with the CDD command, but they are comercial add-on shells.  Also,
COMMAND.COM does not have a command separator character at all; not sure
about CMD.EXE.  4DOS and 4NT do; it is "^".
