>Things like QubesOs (which I had to Google) are interesting, but I think the general failure of Linux to become a mainstream desktop OS alternative proves that the chances of something like that gaining any relevant degree of popularity are minimal. Their chances of success are anyone's guess, but it does offer you the ability to run windows in a VM alongside other OSes. I don't know how good the windows support is, or whether it's even a priority for them, but that is probably the best tradeoff that you can hope for in a system that lets you run windows and still be secure (assuming the user doesn't go out of the way to break the isolation between VMs)
