For what it's worth, Cole Robinson was kind enough to respin a virtio-win
ISO with updated drivers.
I'm really happy that Cole made available the latest Windows drivers. However, as a naïve Fedora user, this is really confusing. For as far as I can tell the virtio-win package is no longer shipping with Fedora. Also the iso that Cole created has the latest drivers, but it does not include vdagent/vdservice or the QXL driver. This means that if you want to add a Windows guest under KVM, you need to get your guest tools from multiple sources. You can never really be sure which versions work together. At the moment I guess the combination of spice-guest-tools-0.3 and this latest virtio-win-0.1-52 would be the best combination.

May I humbly suggest again that the guest tools are supplied in one kit with a unique version number? Or is this asking too much? ;-)
