I ran into the same problem an have found, for me at least, a 
solution. I created a VMWare image running Ubuntu with Quanta+, even 
managed to get cervisa to work as an addon. Have some MySQL tools as 
well. My laptop is Windows and it needs to stay that way for numerous 
reasons, but the VMWare image allows me to run Quanta+ on a Windows 
machine. Not exactly native, but good enough for my needs. Once it is 
made it runs quite happily under VMWare Player which is a free 
download. Also have Firefox installed in it and I think I have Firebug 
etc installed (not positive if I finished that part).
