Ho folks
Those of you running Windows versions as guests on a Linux host any distro with KVM/QEMU don't forget to install the "win-virtio" package ON THE GUEST -- it does roughly the equivalent of Vmware tools or Virtual-box additions -- gives full screen resolution better mouse, better network throughput, better overall experience etc.

Download it from here :



Mount the iso image on to your GUEST Windows system and run the installer -- it's already signed and licensed by Ms so no problems with digital driver signatures etc -- use the LATEST version (262).

Cheers
jimbo
