That's a bummer. I had hoped I might be able to avoid having to
setup another dual boot setup or buy another machine. VMWare seemed
like a promising route and the installation of Cakewalk went really
smoothly. It's just utterly silent ::-).
Bochs seems to have more promising hardware support, but since it
works like a simulator, it's performance is veeeerry slllooow.
Didn't work under Wine either - Cakewalk crashes if I have any of the
Windows core fonts installed. Oddly enough, if only the music
notation font is installed it works... but I can't read anything!
Prospects look dim at this point...
