If you let the OS maintain its per-application idea of a
drive-relative cwd, cd _will_ affect more than the current buffer. If
the current buffer is visiting C:/whatever/file.txt, and I did a cd to
C:/bubbles in a different buffer, should C-x C-f c:junk.txt in the
buffer of file.txt open C:/bubbles/junk.txt, C:/junk.txt or
C:/whatever/junk.txt?
It should probably visit the file C:/whatever/junk.txt, since Emacs
behaves as if the cwd changes whenever you switch buffers.
But if the buffer in question has its cwd on a different drive, it is
not possible in the buffer to assign meaning to a directory relative
to a different drive.
