Is there any plans to support ODBC, I have been getting requests to allow Drupal to be able to import content from Microsoft based Databases or other applications that use ODBC. I was looking into interfacing with Quickbooks data and saw an ODBC interface http://www.qodbc.com/qodbc.htm thought it could come in handy to have Drupal manipulating the data.

If you mean you would like to enable Views of ODBC data, there's nothing Table Wizard can do about that - it would have to be supported by Views.

If you mean you would like to import ODBC data into MySQL the same way you can import CSV files, there is an API that permits implementing an import method for ODBC. I have no plans to implement this, but if someone contributes it I could incorporate it into Table Wizard.
