The "find.exe" in this package
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/findutils-4.2.30-w32-bin.zip/download

produces:
*
*
*C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name *find**
*find: paths must precede expression*
*Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]*
*
*
*C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name "*find*"*
*find: paths must precede expression*
*Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]*

whether or not name quoted.

The "find.exe" in this package
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
produces:

C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name *find*
.\cedet\semantic\db-find.el
.\cedet\semantic\db-find.elc
.\cedet\semantic\find.el
.\cedet\semantic\find.elc
.\cedet\srecode\find.el
...
C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name "*find*"
.\cedet\semantic\db-find.el
.\cedet\semantic\db-find.elc
.\cedet\semantic\find.el
.\cedet\semantic\find.elc
.\cedet\srecode\find.el
...

I don't know why.
I think the second "find.exe" is more powerful in my env..
