My last experience with QTW (see 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/qtw%7Csort:relevance/qubes-users/ByoDzOsqOcA/iwR52h_x6HYJ)
 was not awe inspiring.  I'm hoping that QTW isn't the red haired step child of 
Qubes.  Don't want to start a flame war, but Windows on Qubes is essential for 
me.  Aside from Quicken, I need to use the company provided remote desktop tool 
(available only on Windows) when working from home.

Is Qubes audio protocol on the roadmap for QTW?  Passing the PCI device off to 
the windows VM - wouldn't that deny audio from the linux VMs?  Plus, what if I 
had 2 Windows VMs?

I am using Qubes 3.2 with a Windows 7 HVM and yes Windows is working under
Qubes.
If you follow the excellent documentation you should be able to get things
running within 1 hour.
Install Windows 7, install Qubes Tools for seamless mode.
Install Quicken.

Yes, I know there are alternatives to Quicken, but I have been using
Quicken since the 90's, and have a lot of data in it that I want to keep.


As an IT solution provider I think that Windows support is very important
to address business users in order to use Microsoft Office including
Outlook/Exchange and native ERP/CRM applications.

Just start installing a Windows HVM and we'll guide you through the setup.
Starting point:

Is QTW still in active development?  Will there be a QTW for Qubes 4, or has it 
been deprecated?  I'm still hoping to be able to have a Windows VM under qubes 
for Quicken, possibly a few other apps I can't (easily) replace with Linux 
equivalents.

Yes, I know there are alternatives to Quicken, but I have been using Quicken 
since the 90's, and have a lot of data in it that I want to keep.
