Yes it does, which is one of the reasons I have 'shellslash' set. Be
aware though, that 'shellslash' can interfere with plugins if the
authors did not account for it. And be careful of it in your own
config files.

In particular, I have the following in my .vimrc to set it in the
first place (I don't remember the specific problem I was having):

" use forward slashes on Windows, but wait until after everything is
loaded to
" not screw stuff up
if has('autocmd')
autocmd VimEnter * set shellslash
endif

Also, cscope on Windows does NOT like forward slashes, so beware of it
when working with CScope.

Note the following entries related to 'shellslash' in :help todo:

Completion for ":buf" doesn't work properly on Win32 when 'shellslash'
is off.

shellescape() depends on 'shellshash' for quoting. That doesn't work
when
'shellslash' is set but using cmd.exe.

Win32: When 'shell' is bash shellescape() doesn't always do the right
thing.
Depends on 'shellslash', 'shellquote' and 'shellxquote', but
shellescape()
only takes 'shellslash' into account.
