I am running Qubes since ~1,5y and I must say, it is never really finished, as there is so much you can optimize and fine tune ;-) > Since I need some programs that only runs on Windows, As I am running Qubes as my primary OS working in a very windows OS focussed world (IT Solution Provider) I need also windows to run ERP-system and to connect to microsoft exchange. > I now ask myself the question, how can I install Windows on Qubes? It's all in the Qubes Docs: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-vm/#qubes-40---windows-vm-installation Under Qubes 4 you need to download the Qubes Tools manually and then install them as they're not in the package repositories. > Do I risk my privacy with the additional windows installation? Depends on what you are doing, you can always outsource all tasks which you can run under Linux in other AppVms > I thought about Virtualbox, but that's also a virtual machine. no. > What about Linux Wine? I am runnung a Windows 7 HVM, which is working great and also with enough performance. What is missing: Audio Support Additionally I am running Crossover Linux from Codeweavers as it is simpler to use than Wine and because I like their Support Team. https://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-linux I am running Office 2016 without the Windows overhead via Crossover for Linux in a Debian-9 AppVM. Regarding connection to our corporate Exchange I am using a fedora-26 bases AppVM (my-mail) which connect to Exchange via DavMail. In this AppVM I am running Offlineimap + Neomutt and Khal + Khard for plain text productivity. I also keep a browser windows with OWA (Outlook Web Access) open. The my-mail AppVM is restricted by firewall rules so that it can only connect to our Exchange server. I can open links through a disposable VM or copy & paste links to another AppVM Additionaly I am using another fedora-26 my-work AppVM which has Cisco Anyconnect and VMware Horizon View installed if I need to run special tasks. Summary: the great thing with Qubes is, that it is like a toolbox, pick the right tool to get your job done.
