Be sure to bundle the visual basic runtimes with your application.
Test your application on Wine, and file bugs for any problems you see.
Since you have the source, attach a small testcase to make the bug
easier to fix.

Serial support is kinda crappy in Wine...most developers don't have
that hardware, and so support has languished. As for real-time,
depending on the user's kernel, this may be difficult to achieve.
