Hmm.

>> `bad`
(irb):1: command not found: bad
=> ""
>> $?
=> #<Process::Status: pid=27331,exited(127)>
>> system("bad")
=> false
irb(main):004:0> $?
=> #<Process::Status: pid=27335,exited(127)>

Appears a little buggy on windows for some reason.

C:\dev\blade_copy>irb
>> `bad`
>> $?
=> #<Process::Status: pid=5636,exited(0)> # this is wrong
>> system("bad")
=> false
>> $?
=> #<Process::Status: pid=0,exited(127)>
>> `bad`
>> $?
=> #<Process::Status: pid=0,exited(127)> # and now it's right. Odd.
