In general Windows does not have so good real-time capabilities  
(compared to a RT pached Linux kernel for instance) and thus JACK  
usually cannot run at very low latencies. Otherwise the system runs  
in an equivalent manner.

Note that on Windows an ASIO/Jack driver called "JackRouter" allows  
to use any ASIO compatible application as a JACK client. This greatly  
raise the number of applications that can be used...

This should work, but could require a bit of work to adapt the .pro  
fle or something.
