I recently made a switch on development teams that I was working with which took me from working on my MacBook to needing to work on a windows machine. It had been over a year or so since I last had to work extensively in windows and so I made myself a quick little cheat sheet on a note to help me recall the most basic command parallels between Unix and Windows.
If you find this useful, you can bookmark it and use it in the future. I will most likely keep coming through and updating this article to include a more extensive list of command comparisons.
