You mean you choose to stay with Windows.  Seriously if this is keeping
you tied to Windows, you will always find something to keep you tied to
Windows.

Again a choice.  My full time production DAW is 64Studio which has even
older versions of Ardour than Ubuntu Studio 8.04.  I have Ubuntu Studio
on my laptop which I use for post production work on the go.  It is also
very capable.  I also do not need an RT kernel for post production work
(arranging, composing, mixing, etc.)

Also, you will invest time on system management either way.  Virus
updates, registry corruption, malware, you *will* be busy with your
Windows system too.

The real problem is that you have already invested in a particular skill
set.  I will not lie to and say that there is zero cost in moving to
Linux, but you will either find the time or you won't.  The beautiful
thing is that only you can make that choice.
