I know .NET just introduced Async, but in Linux it is implemented at OS level, does Windows OS has equivalent or is it just simulated on .NET Framework level ?

Windows has several asynchronous I/O APIs. Overlapped I/O can be pretty much considered an extension of the regular I/O functions. And for high performance/scalability purposes, there’s I/O Completion Ports.
(.NET’s async has little to do with async I/O specifically. It’s a language-level construct for doing anything asynchronously)
