Windows does handle // and \\ the same, but I don't know about other redirectors. Note that some Unix applications (notably, Emacs) will collapse multiple slashes, so //host/share is converted into /host/share. The NT port of Emacs has special very convoluted code to avoid this lossage. (Of course, this code is precisely the reason why NTEmacs doesn't work with Cygwin very well ;-)
