My one thing to add here is that...
I will give Microsoft credit for being a lot more organized than the open
source chaps. I think they both have benefits.

I know at my last full-time job, they had an SGI (Silicon Graphics I
forget what the I stands for) which was used for rendering 3D images. I
seem to remember the operating system being some UNIX variant; but I never
used the system myself.
I thought that the BE OS was a specialized (or optimized) OS for digital
media (such as touching up film on a movie) but once again I'm not an
expert here.
If by 'new media' you meant something on the web... I think that an end
resultant file that will run in Windows Media Player would be an ideal goal.
