I don't know much about this, but i'm pretty sure you can't get as low a latency as that of Linux and Mac OS in windows. The thing is that "performance and studio" doesn't mean anything per se. If you only need a drum machine or a sequencer for your performance, then you don't really care about latency at all. Same for recording. Latency only becomes a problem when you need to process your sound in real time (if you want to apply an effect on a voice for instance), or when you need to do some overdubbing (recording a track while listening to another). For this you need a real low latency, which implies direct access to the processor for your audio data, and i don't think Windows allows that.<br>

</div>FYI, we have purchased some recent eeepc (I cannot tell exactly<br>
which, I don't have the info at hand). It was pre-loaded with windows<br>
7. I installed ubuntu loaded with the necessary libraries and pd. I<br>
have experimented with running our pd patches under windows but the<br>
performance terrible compared to linux (even before tweaking any<br>
settings to improve performance). I could run the same setup on an<br>
Acer Aspire One but the processing is not very intensive, in any case.<br>
On the other hand, I do not know how to make Windows efficient, it<br>
must be possible since there are so many people relying on it for<br>
performance and studio work.<br>
