Most MIDI seems to be done over USB already. MIDI 2.0 is mostly unrelated to the actual connectors and such, it's more about the protocol.

  "MIDI" on your Desk may well be done over USB but MIDI as a hardware protocol is absolutely rock solid and is the only choice for live music. Speaking as an occasional backstage gremlin, I minimise the USB proportion of the signal path because reduces the amount of testing required (MIDI is generally well implemented on the hardware side, but not all USB midi interfaces are made equal). That and a lot of MIDI is instrument-to-instrument rather than to a PC (Or more realistically a Mac, because you have to have a Mac to be a creative, right...)

    Windows audio latency increased to a 35ms floor in Vista and never recovered.

      This is why many music apps use ASIO drivers that skip Windows audio. ASIO is awful in many ways, but latency is not one of them.
