You might want to look at the software Alistair wants to use before recommending virtualisation. it looks to me like the sort of thing that might really suffer from the VM overhead. I'd say in this case (and given it is one app) that Wine would be a better choice, assuming this software works in Wine of course.
You might be right. I guess where virtualisation does least well is for intensive graphic applications.
