Windows assumes you know nothing about the operating system and consequently takes care of everything for you. Linux assumes you know everything about the OS and want to do it yourself. The downside to the Windows approach, is when it doesn't work there is no way to fix it. Witness the two major Windows troubleshooting techniques, rebooting the computer, and re-installing the package. The downside to the Linux side is you have to be an expert on what you are doing if you don't want to use your distribution's default pacakges.
