So if it detects that the remote machine is running  Linux or Cisco it will 
ignore windows checks?

A few plugins do, but most do not. That said, Nessus will skip
irrelevant local checks if it either can't gain access or determines
that the OS / distro is not appropriate (eg, it will ignore non-Debian
checks if it is able to connect and determine the remote is running Debian).

  When nessus make a sacan, does and it detect the OS type?? , relying upon 
Nmap or other thing, if so, does it select related OS plugings or it use all 
selected plugging ??
