No, it still only tells you the current working directory, not the search
path for starting applications. (pwd = Print Working Directory).
Applications in the current directory will only be started if either
a) You start them with ./filename (recommended)
b) You have . in your search path (not recommended due to security
implications)

All UN*X:es work the same way. No point in changing only because of this.
But it is possible the security of your previous installation had been
relaxed to have . in the default search path.
