Similarly with Windows: XP users, now forced to change to Windows 8, feel desperate. Linux changes even more, constantly, in usually small steps; but many. In five years, the differences are huge.
Windwos 8 adds a new layer of complexity since it requires some very specific partitioning... eg a boot partition on the boot (first?) drive that did not have to be set active in 8.0 but must be in 8.1 (I've been tripped up over that one) and so on... Grub2 will play the game with Windows 8 and do so fairly seamlessly but... start tinkering about too much and one, the other or both will stop booting. Windows 8 (in terms of booting) is particularly fragile when compared to WinXP.
