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 ;-)

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.

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.

Depends on what you are doing, you can always outsource all tasks which you can 
run under Linux in other AppVms

no.

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.
