The moment your product runs Windows, it'll compete with thousands of others. Being able to do one single thing better than the others won't help you much unless that one single thing can drive all your sales.

Even for video rendering, if your box is twice as fast, it'll be outcompeted by machines that cost half as much or less. At times my desktop PC was not fast enough, it was simpler to get another PC and run time-consuming things on it while I did other things on the other.
