"In general, a heavily used Windows machine gets worse and worse over time."
Agreed. I do a wipe and reinstall (not always through choice--e.g., hard drive crash on the Sony VAIO recently) on the average of every couple of years.
I recently moved all my audio stuff over to second PC. That is working out pretty nicely.
As for Linux, Paul Slocum had a post a while back about why "Windows plus open source programs" was the better alternative. I'll look for the URL. Mainly it was that Linux was lagging in good programs.
