Erm, no?
Try installing a copy of Half-Life 1 from '98 on a modern machine (go on, I'll wait).
Note that it runs just fine, other than being confused if you've got more than 4GB of ram (which you can fake and fix in other ways).
Windows had a lot of DLL issues, but the VC redstributables and vendors packaging their own blessed libraries solves almost all of those issues. I'll take that over the crackheaded Linux story any day.
