Windows does not care. Unix would, but that's not the reason for this advice.

A minor correction. Windows does care -- it expects to see paths separated by "\" just as Unix/Linux/OS X expect to see paths separated by "/". The fact that you can use forward slashes in your Stata code and have it work on all platforms is courtesy of Stata.
