I would say that a function which tells you whether a path is absolute should, under Windows, return false if there isn't a leading slash or backslash after any drive specification. Whether lack of a drive specification should cause it to return false or whether that should be a separate test doesn't seem like it makes a big difference, as long as it's clear and documented. -Kevin
