Linux and windows also have this command. Under windows it is called start. Under Linux it is called open as well.

You mean xdg-open? I'm not aware of a commonly available "open" tool under Linux.

I eventually found out about xdg-open, but I'm glad that I didn't know about it from the start. I learned to open things the more "normal" way (eg `soffice document.doc`).
