The source repositories are hosted by freedesktop, also linked from spice-space.org, including the qxl windows driver. Latest windows driver is http://www.spice-space.org/download/binaries/qxl-win32-0.6.1.zip The rest of the windows binaries: client - the client. virtio-serial driver - for agent (copy-paste, better mouse, automatic resize for full screen, wan performance by guest changes) guest agent - the agent to run in the windows guest for said features libraries - only required if you want to build from source. A collection of all the dependencies of the client (to build the driver you need only the spice-protocol and windows kernel driver stack). > >I found a file named kvm-guest-drivers-windows-061510.iso > >when testing a while back and it seemed to work, but > >also seems likely to be pretty old these days.
