What the fuck.. can't it do : characters? Something as basic as that? Microsoft, you.. you never heard of character escaping? I mean, Linux shells for example don't deal with certain characters very well either, so what do you do?

Fucking hell.. at this point I'm not even mad anymore. Just.. what the fuck Microsoft?
