The display is running as a emulated VGA device you get to via something like VNC. This is very low performance video, so don't expect to run 3D games on a windows virtual machine, etc. Coming (soon maybe) is "spice" which I am looking forward to, but haven't tried any of the previews yet. This provides a higher performance video device driver you can install in windows and view in the special spice viewer app (much more souped up than VNC). I have hopes that it will be able to run the espn3.com viewer software :-). If you are planning anything that uses heavy disk IO in windows, the recommendations I have seen call for using a dedicated LVM as the disk drive and running the virtio disk drivers in windows (which are a bit tricky to install on the boot disk). I don't use the LVM, instead I go in the opposite direction and use qcow2 images which may be a little slow but are fairly compact on the host machine. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
