Wow. Funny that, my view is:

Windows: Gaming
Linux: everything else

Linux for pentest, hell yes, mostly because it lends itself extremely well
to quickly implementing a prototype and automating it in a reliable manner.
Windows scheduler is a joke, Windows development is a masochist's dream.
Poweshell is an indicator that MS has only recently come to the
understanding that automation is more than just a room full of low-skilled
operators reacting to pop-up dialogs. Where does the cloud live, on
Windows? Lol!
