Your snark is outdated. Windows can upgrade graphics drivers without a reboot these days and even supports hotplugging GPUs to a limited extent. Meanwhile, like many others I regularly have to perform console surgery on my Linux machines when they fail to boot to X after fiddling with the graphics drivers. (My latest discovery is that Ubuntu's auto-updates will auto-destroy your NVIDIA drivers if you have an unexpected version of GCC set as default). Graphics drivers are emphatically not something Linux people should be crowing about to Windows users.
