To the console where you are running the program from the command line. In 
this case the program is a Windows Service and would typically be started 
from the Service Manager, automatically, or 'net start ...' and would not 
have access to the Windows Terminal console. 

No, it's not Linux. otoh with Linux you can run a program like vim from 
Konsole and lose that console,  you can run 'vim &' to background it, then 
you can screw around with bg, and fg. 

Or with Ubuntu I can click on the Tor icon and it comes up with no 
console, or I can start it from Konsole and see all the logging.

One way is not inherently better than the other.
