Microsoft is just as fragmented between its own products.

For example, changing your network configuration between Windows 95, ME, NT, and 2000.

Some versions of Windows (DOS based) use command.com as the shell, and others use cmd.exe.

Then there is the C:\WINNT vs. C:\WINDOWS issue.

I could keep going. But I think Microsoft is more inconsistent between their own product releases than most popular Linux distros are from each other.
