Thanks for the response - interesting to learn about the lacking Windows guest support. Do you know which specific SMEs are using Qubes OS? (e.g. specific users I can talk to) Interested in learning more from their experience pushing it to more than a handful of users.
BTW - also see this article about Qubes OS (and others) that also claims there's a big problem about hardware compatibility with Qubes OS making it impractical for enterprises: https://www.brianmadden.com/opinion/client-virtualization-part-2-how-client-vms-have-evolved Thank you!
