Actually...

a. I don't have a Win7 copy yet, so I'm starting with a copy of XP to
test with.

b. I have thought about it, but I need to run a Goldmine Sync Server
which requires me to run MS SQL Express server as well.  Don't see a
problem with Goldmine Sync, but do you think the combination will work
well together on Wine?  It would be interesting to try!
