I don't agree that most users are Windows users. AFAIK, most Windows users stick to the default selector (ntldr), and does not try to see how GRUB works at all. But you are comparing apples with oranges here. What Windows does is to count only partitions for hard disks and count only disk for floppy disks and CD/DVD drives. C: is not a disk. It is a partition that Windows can recognize as a primary partition. D: is a second partition, regardless of whether it is in the same disk as C: or in next disk, or in next next disk. So you cannot compare GRUB's scheme with Windows' simply. Personally, I think it is really unfortunate that the way of Windows is of no use. Really no use. If Windows were not that crap, everybody else could follow the same way, and everybody would be quite happy.
