That's cool... I've done work (a while ago) in both windows and linux
embedded software, not lately.  Where I work now we have a few systems
that are Windows based and one that is Linux (pi) based.  They're
centered around print and mail sorting hardware.  I don't work on these
projects though, I'm mostly working on full-stack and front end focused
dev these days.
