Debian votes on init systems

Of course, Windows' Service Controller is vastly more sophisticated than classic SysV init, including as it does the ability to handle start-once, restart on failure, etc etc, and provides a standard, non-scripted way of launching and managing services.

So if you wanted a common approach, advanced Unix/Linux service managers such as launchd, SMF, and systemd are much closer to Windows than BSD or SysV init.
