Not meaning to rub anyone the wrong way, I would still like to note a few unqualified observations: I suspect the problems may be within the spice-guest-tools. With an older version of the spice-guest-tools (I believe spice-guest-tools-0.1.exe) there was a bug/race which frequently caused guest hangs while trying to boot win7 if smp was set to 1. I picked up a patched version on a mailing list where this problem was redeemed. I believe, that this fix was in spice-guest-tools-0.2.exe, but spice-guest-tools-0.2.exe had the problem that the vdagent would occasionally fail to start, but otherwise the system was very stable. With spice-guest-tools-0.3.exe and spice-guest-tools-0.52.exe the vdagent starts reliably, but the hang at boot is back, at least with smp=1 and NIC_MODEL='virtio' and the system is quit unstable. Please take this all with a grain of salt, as all the while various other software components have been changing; when not using redhat or fedora qemu with spice is very much a moving target.
