Windows 10 guest support

[tine....@gmail.com]

Hello,

I would like to know if there are any plans for better Windows (10) support in the upcoming 4.X version?

I really appreciate your work, but currently this is preventing me to use Qubes as the daily driver.

Best regards, Tine

You are right that a remote machine (we're running VMware Horizon View vDesks) can be used to run windows apps, but depending on the task / workflow this is not a valuable option.

Example:
I am currently 3 days per week on-site at a customers location.
Most work there includes to work with Email/Excel/OneNote/Remote Desktop Manager.

Because of corporate policies most of the work is done when being connected to a network which is air-gapped (no internet).
Having a local windows would allow me to access my mails/onenote when being offline .

So for me it is ~50:50 windows/Qubes.

In my point of view bring you own laptop inside secure lan is the worst thing as CTO i will want .
1. email - browser
2. rdp - remmina
3. libre office doing the job .

you will create appvm that will be completely isolate from the internet with all the apps i mentioned with specific sys-net and firewall for the office only .

Moving from windows at start seems to be very hard . after you will do your first step you will never want to go back .....:)
