I have tested this Howto with a Windows 7 Enterprise edition client and IE 9 and when you click over console button in User portal virt-viewer is launched but after one second it close windows and don't connect to virtual machine. I have oVirt 3.1 and I'm thinking in migrate my system to oVirt 3.2 but it will be nice to know which it is the reason because it doesn't work. Some indications about what would be the problem will be wellcome.

It would seem impossible with oVirt-3.1, which is the biggest reason why
we cannot take into any real production at the moment:( What good does
it do that it works with Fedora when the total of people using it counts
to 1(me)?

1. there are wiki's on how to add spice windows support to ovirt:

2. there are patches for various solutions to this coming (mime based launched, spice.html5, novnc, maybe spice-xpi for firefox windows)
