The poll is completely meaningless. Again I have to state the obvious. I feel obliged. It is a necessity.
How can windows be blamed for problems with audio replay. If there are any problems it is due to programs being written badly. Windows doesn't have to deal with billions of different hardware and drivers as you should know well. Windows has various protocols and the software and hardware complies with it and works or it doesn't comply with it and it fails. Windows has many times more computing power to deal with any audio issues.
Take jriver. That is one complicated program and you could even suggest that it suffers from bloatware, yet many people think jriver is the bees knees. This doesn't appear to fit with your view of computing.
Even my pathetic raspberry pi has sufficient performance and it does that with a pathetic power supply.
