It's about how much you use it and how much software it has. Windows are constructed to take every setting and save it in a registry file. That means that with every installation, reboot and so on more bloat gets in. Also, there is the problem of viruses, malware and other kind of this nasty stuff and no telling the user that "he goes to wrong sites and he should use only google and .gov .org sites" and other of this bs doesn't work. The user should have the freedom to do everything he wants.
Also, I didn't force anyone to my opinion but saying that your Windows machine works for 6 years not needing a fresh install is not an valid argument. Knowing the structure of Windows and criticizing the structure of Gnu/Linux is, and any other OS for that matter.
