And so it is to me too :-0
It must be in combination with some thing, because when I do:

-----------------------------------------------
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\>type j.cmd
#!c:\ruby\bin\ruby
puts "Hello"

C:\>j.cmd

C:\>#!c:\ruby\bin\ruby
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

C:\>puts "Hello"
'puts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
