Security Cloak indeed will masquerade windows as linux but there is a possibility to identify the target by running a 
XMAS scan.
XMAS scans against a windows box will show all ports as being closed. So if a SYN scan shows open ports and XMAS scan 
came out with all ports closed then it should be a windows box.
