Used to not
Times change. You used to not be able to run Linux in Windows, but you can do that too.
Yeah, and I've tried that. It turns out it works even better if you throw away the Windows part.
Thanks be to God
Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it's been that way since at least Windows 7.
Sadly, I had the great displeasure of writing code for Windows (and DOS) well before then.
In Linux it is still not.
