I would like to test Spice & Virt-IO against Windows XP guests.
If anybody contributes testing plans for Spice and/or Virt-IO, I would 
encourage them to include information about what versions of the other 
software to use in testing, including the windows drivers.  It would also be 
useful to know how to obtain other required software.  For example, it would 
be hard to test the qemu side of spice and virt-io if the guest drivers and 
services were not also available.

Thanks,
