It's not just you. I knew Windows long before I started to know and 
learn Linux, and before that I knew MS-DOS. But still I have a better 
understanding of the concepts, philosophy and inner workings of Linux 
(and Unix in general) than Windows.

I think there are several reasons for that. One is that I think that 
Unix really is more logically designed.

Another is that Unix is IMO better documented: even pretty basic user 
guides explain the basic concepts behind for instance processes and the 
file system. It's very hard, in my experience, to find a clear 
explanation on those concepts and the reasonings behind them in Windows.
