I don’t normally engage with comments like these but you do realize Unix predates windows by 10 years. So much so that windows used the bsd net code is some of its network stack up till windows 8
Hate to say it, but Windows was not based on unix at all. MacOS and some flavors of Linux have a common ancestor, Unix. But Windows was not based on Linux or Unix, it was written by Microsoft and runs on their kernel, the Windows NT kernel.
Which part? Package installation (not windows), TUI graphics (IBM PC, predating Windows), or dialog/whiptail dialogs (1994, based on the IBM PC line drawing)?
That moment you realize you are fetishizing something that was a carbon copy of a Windows mechanism originally designed by people at Microsoft/Apple.
Updating is a windows mechanism now?

Some NT net utilities even had BSD info in their binaries.
