+1 to that Bob!
The trouble is that guys like us that have used BIAB, RB PT, Sonar etc for years and years know all these tricks and work a rounds. I started with DAWs from the ground up. Some one just coming into the game can get frustrated. I'm a little out of the loop at this point but I doubt you'd see major studios and pros using any Windows products for the reasons you mentioned. I bet it's still Mac & Pro Tools.
When the whole world was using VHS the pros were using Beta Max.The reason there are so many Windows DAW programs for Windows isn't cause Windows is better it's because they can sell more programs . More Windows users.
Another example.I used to use Windows on my Internet computer. I shifted permanently to Linux a couple of years back.Being a computer geek I really miss Windows on that machine. I had lots to do fixing & fussing. Running scans etc.,etc. Now with Linux it just works. ALWAYS
Just to be fair. My Win 7x64 machine works quite nicely with all of my DAW programs. Better then XP.
