Linux *is* an operating system. So it's not meant to be compatible with a specific operating system.

However, it can interoperate with other systems, which means that it can provide its own implementations of another operating systems features to make sure the user is able to use Linux with the other operating systems. For example, Linux interoperates with Windows by having filesystem drivers to vFat and NTFS, so that it may mount and manipulate Windows filesystems.

It also has an open source implementation of SMB (Windows Networking.) called Samba, which can even share printers and files with Windows machines.
