Does everything else you need either run under Wine or a locked-down windows 7/8 VM?

It's mostly music software, but I have to give it a try in a win VM.

Same for me. I've heard that attempting to use WINE/JACK for progs like ableton can add measurable latency which can be detrimental when using ASIO, but maybe a full VM would work better.
