So? "ls -l" means you have something that provides -nix style command line utilities, which doesn't mean you are on -nix -- plenty of people have that on Windows. And, of course, there's no reason you can't have mono executables -- or Windows executables, for that matter -- all in a directory on a -nix machine, as well.
yeah, I've gotten sufficiently used to nix that I always install some basic gnu utils on a windows box if I am going to use it. And typing ls saves a char over dir.
