Aurelien,

Have you actually run QEMU on Windows and tried to use it to do 
something useful?

As an exercise, walk through the various releases of QEMU and compare 
how well it works on Windows to any Unix platform.  Windows support in 
QEMU has always been a second class citizen.

If someone is willing to stand up and properly maintain it, I'm all for 
doing whatever we can to be supportive of that person but as of right 
now, that doesn't exist.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
