In fact, you can configure (via shells, aliases or even compiling in your own user space tools) the two environments to behave more alike if you really struggle when switching platforms. Where as it's not really possible to do that with Win/BSD. While you can get a POSIX environment for Windows (cygwin) and slap a GUI on BSD, Windows and BSD are as different as night and day.
That is the problem that they are so so similar I used to get confused ... especially in the labs when we were running Sun Ray thin clients that had a mixture of Redhat and Solaris.
I personally find Linux to be easier.
