This sounds interesting, but I have to wonder what advantages SPICE offers over running win2k/winxp instances in KVM then connecting to them with RDP (rdesktop or Terminal Services Client).

But the idea is that you should just move your whole desktop guest to a server on your LAN instead.

Virtualizing desktops is a much more difficult problem than servers as they typically have a much more predictable workload. Would be very curious to see how this scales on multi-core cpus.

The workloads of managers' and executives' workstations can be a little harder to predict.
