A bit ambitious, aren't we? Does "Battery" work in a useful manner--that is, 
can be used for its intended music production purpose? Just because it does 
not crash and the screen looks like it should, this does not mean it really 
works.

I have found a handful of MIDI apps that will function, sort of, in Wine. 
Something like GigaStudio which needs a machines full processing power, I 
simply would not dream of running through an emulater. Most of my sound stuff 
simply will not run in Wine and probably should not. I am still stuck in 
"native" Windows for this work.

What may be needed (hey, all you geniuses out there!) is a "co-windows" along 
the same lines as "co-linux". Or a hot-key switched multiboot system--this is 
most likely doable.
