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.
