its hard to see why she would not use OS X on her MBP if audio/midi is the
goal. not all, but several of the better FOSS apps are available for OS X,
and that only adds to the vastly improved array of FX and synth plugins on
OS X.
i appreciate that there may be a principle at work here, but honestly,
she'll get more done with OS X unless she is herself a natural tinkerer
and/or has "odd" needs (e.g. academic electroacoustic music)
