In an ironic way this speed of improvement of Linux is a strength for Windows. I demonstrate this by means of Inkscape 0.44 and how one can with relatively no trouble develop for Windows and release any old time and users like me can pick up the binary and run it. No mess. No fuss.

The Windows case is not that perfect. Inkscape had to drop support for Windows 95/98/ME because one of the dependencies (gtk+) was not working anymore on those operating systems (and nobody bothered enough to fix the regression at the gtk level).
