Yes, but many primary Windows users (those who use Windows as their main OS)
have objections. Things such as: GTK libs and friends are too large just for
qemu,
that having to install them would confuse a newbie user, using the native win32
GUI will look more natural, etc. I believe that Fabrice prefers a native win32
GUI but he is ok with using a GTK GUI on Windows. (Basically, he just wants
something that is functional.)
The GTK code I wrote should work equally well when compiled on Windows, though I
currently don't know anyone who uses it there. (My one tester reported that the
computer he had installed qemu on had some sort of hard disk failure iirc.)
