You seemed to have missed the post in which I said this (no matter; I'm wordy):

You can also argue that a full-blown Windows tablet can run any Windows program and therefore any Windows music program. I'd argue that a professional musician wants to see that idea not only demonstrated in the practical sense but also widely adopted for the sake of client compatibility.

The beauty of Windows conceptually is the opposite of iOS: an OS that can run without incident on virtually any compatible box. The particular trick with music involves real-time performance with a number of devices surrounding the box -- not merely decently but as perfectly as possible. I know hilariously successful musicians who are still clinging to ancient rigs because trial and error upon error has made them superstitious: they're afraid to use anything else because that system works.
