As a non-Windows user who occasionally is the only one available to
help Windows users do something (other than install Linux and learn to
live free<wink/>), consistency would be nice.  I often have trouble
finding the right advice for Windows, even if I feel like looking for it.

Dunno if that's a common or important use case, though.
