Not sure what the context of your question is, but using Windows for the same purpose is probably doable too. It's just that Linux makes it a lot easier to ensure that your OS isn't any chattier on the network layer than it needs to be. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable trying to be an anonymous Windows user if the stakes were as high as we're alluding to here.

My joke was that Windows phones home too much for good opsec.
Oh, right. Fully agreed then.
