Emacs on windows (not cygwin version) will open unix files in unix mode and
dos files in dos mode.  If it is a new file I think it defaults to dos mode.
If you want to force a particular mode for your next command, use:

C-x <RET> c emacs-mule-unix

or emacs-mule-dos
or emacs-mule-mac

Then open the file.  A '\' in the status bar is dos mode, and (Unix) is unix
mode of course.
