Does the new Macbook Pro Retina really have 4 times' desktop space, or it is 1440x900 in terms of coordinate just like the Retina iPad?
I mean if you can use up to 2880x1800, the desktop space is quadplex to original 1440x900, which is amazing but everything will be so small. Otherwise, if like a Retina iPad, the user space is actually 1440x900, that will be not that exciting. Sometimes we will need a really big desktop to view more for professional jobs.

AnswerIn System Preferences you can select if you'd like more space. It allows you to take full advantage of the larger resolution display. UI elements are pixel doubled so that their not tiny but the resolution would be 2800 x 1800 or higher if you so desire.

Answerof course macbooks can run windows 7/8 (using bootcamp). I have been using both OSx and Windows on my macbook pro and mac mini for about year and a half. Matter of fact windows 7 and the windows 8 developer preview runs great on my macs. I would definitely suggest you to buy a mac and use dual boot :)

AnswerYes. I have a mid-2010 MBP, and just paired some stereo headphones via Bluetooth. Looking at the System Report for my machine, I see that it supports Bluetooth 4, same as the latest MBP versions. As long as your speaker set is compatible with that standard, you're golden.

AnswerYou can install Windows programs using a program called PlayOnMac, which is a front-end to another program called Wine. Most programs work without issue, but some will crash or have bugs because Wine is "alpha" software. This program will also work on several other Unix-based operating systems. This will only work if your computer has an Intel CPU. It will not work on older Macs that have a PowerPC CPU. Another option, with higher compatibility, is to run Windows in VirtualBox, which also requires an Intel CPU. If you have a PowerPC CPU, you can run Windows in Qemu, although it will be much slower.
