Not sure what you are asking for.

Using the command line interface (CLI) in either Windows or Linux, a
space is interpreted as the beginning of a new parameter.

Try

dir \Program Files\Adobe

in Windows.

In both Windows and Linux, putting double quotes around the filename
that has spaces in it will work.  In Linux, you can also escape the
difficult characters, which is what file name completion will do (the
backslash, \, tells Linux to treat the next character as a character,
not a special-meaning signal).

So, I guess you could "fix" this in both Windows and Linux somehow,
but how would you get both sides to agree on an answer?
