Have you ever actually used Gimp? It's photoshop on superman crack. All your photo editor plugins, all the shit CS does, can be done in Gimp - and it's faster. And if Gimp can't do it, another tool can, that will be 1000's of times faster than PS.
Video editing wise... Linux is the #1 OS used in Hollywood. Used by Pixar and Dreamworks, and almost every other studio. South park uses Linux backend with Mac desktops. The secretaries personal desktop linux machine could be used as part of the render cluster, making every machine in the office, part of the render pie.
I bet you can find Video Editing software that looks almost like Premiere, or a skin that will change one over.
If you're using windows, your spending twice the time to do the same work as someone else and probably spending 100% more the money.
