No its not advisable because windows if compromised can undermine the qubes /boot partition which is not encrypted. And even if you are disconnecting drives, its much easier to flash firmware from windows then in qubes, which would also then undermine qubes when you connect its drive and run it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
