The difference is also that on GNU/Linux you get very often new 
versions. Just consider KDE: About 3 new versions in a year. I will not 
try to count all the new kernel-version. On windows on the other hand 
there were six versions within the past ten years: 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, 
XP. The same is true for software like Office or Flash. As there are not 
many new versions for windows upgrades become less frequent and are 
therefore easier.

 
The huge differences between windows and linux in terms of software 
installations and upgrades is something that used to make my head spin 
- still does - the ease with which I can do it in windows and the 
difficulties (usually total failures) and mistakes I have previously 
had in linux have made me really resistant to learning the ins and 
outs to the point of not using anything that doesn't come on the 
install disks (that much I can do).
It's time for me to get over myself and get on with it...
