Renoise here. The advantage of running multiple instances in a DAW or plugin host is that you don't have to reload presets in each instance, you just save your project file, and reload it, and all this is taken care of by the DAW / host.

Sonar is a windows program. It "might" work in other systems using WINE, but that would add a bunch of complications on top of being a windows program, and it would really not be the ideal as far as audio latency goes.

Apparently yes, according to EvilDragon. Not very difficult to find out, just run it once and then try to run it again.

It's just basic multitasking. Linux does have a much better, more stable, and more optimized multitasking engine than windows, and the reason is simple: thousands of people across the world have been working hard to improve it in the last 20 years. It's all about improving and creating the best you can create. On the other hand, you have a completely sh*tty, selfish, monopolistic corporation selling either complete junk or stolen products and ideas for about 35 years, and they'll make their products only "good" enough to sell, sell, and sell - in order to make even more money on "upgrades" and on tech support. It's all about the money, marketing, presentation, and facade. And of course grabbing control of pretty much everything they can.
/* edit */ Someone mentioned BSD earlier.... on the topic of selling stolen products, did you know that most of windows's network functionality, at least as of about 5-10 years ago, was stolen directly from a BSD system? (no one really knows which exactly) ...this was proven by a vulnerability in the BSD tcp/ip code, which also affected all windows versions in the exact same way. I don't remember the exact details, but you can look it up.
