Windows is one of the only Operating Systems with a File system that reuiqres this [A-Z]:\ syntax.

There's also VMS, but it uses a colon too. Also its pathnames are funky enough in other ways that it needs its own os-specific pathname routines.

I'm not aware of any system that's "just like Windows" except that it uses something other than colons.
