On Windows installing software is incredibly difficult. You need to know
where the package is, e.g. find the CD-Rom that was supplied with your
printer or hunt all over the internet to find it (hoping you don't
download a copy with malware by mistake). There is no centralised
package manager where you can point and click and dependencies are
managed by you not the system. Try to install a program that requires
.net framework 2 and if you don't have it it will just fail without
giving any kind of useful message.
No I am sorry the idea that installing software on Windows is easy is
just a false rumour spread by Microsoft.
