Windows Server has the promise of native SSH, but it isn't part of the OS builds yet. I think that it's fair to say that Windows remote access today is PowerShell and RDP (which is awesome, but not for this). To me, that's sort of where Windows is now. It has some really impressive stuff: Windows 2000 was an avalanche of innovations, but most of it was built for the corporate LANs of a decade ago. Put Windows Server on a cloud, and most of this stuff is not relevant or useful, and Windows is not great at some fundamentals. Logging is one of those. If you are interested in this kind of thing, I'd genuinely encourage you to spin up a Fedora or Debian system and look at the thing work. We are currently in transition between logging systems, but the feature sets are impressive and the error messages are useful. Windows logging is even more patchwork, and the (Microsoft) products that bother with the core logging system tend to fill it with chaff. It might get better, one day, but it's not a good experience today, and hasn't ever been. Another is software management. Package-based software management has to be deeply integrated into the OS for it to provide it's full value. Debian have done this for years, and Red Hat have caught up. Microsoft have a muddle of multiple software management systems, and individual admins can't fix it. We just have to work around it and do the best that we can, or decide that the platform is what it is, and move on.
