I've never encountered an issue on Windows related to two library versions conflicting. That's something that happens all the time on Linux. As a Windows user, you don't even have to know what libraries are. As a user of Linux you need to be aware of a ton of different shared libraries and research various compatibility workarounds to keep using them with the growing pile of software you've installed. This isn't something the typical desktop user is up for.
