Hi=2C

We=27ve been talking to a lot of thin client hardware vendors in the last=

weeks=2E And the general trend I see that when we talk about RHEV/oVirt
support=2C most have advised against using spice for VDI due to high
network usage and spotty performance=2E

One of them is willing to have his engineers to look at it again but he
want=27s to know if there have been any performance improvements since
RHEV 3=2E1=2E They looked at it then and found it not to be a viable option=

for VDI=2E

Information about spice is pretty hard to find and I don=27t feel like
trawling through the spice-devel mailinglist archives today=2E

And I see this on the wiki as still to do=3A


      This page includes a lot of features spice could use=2E It=27s an
      accumulation of both meetings and over the years added ideas=2E It
      is a jumbled mess=2E The feature pages are also not all that up to
      date=2E On the bright side=2C it can all be fixed - if you are in
      charge of a feature please try to update it! if you know something
      has been updated in code please fix it here!

Is anyone using spice =26 thin clients + ovirt for VDI and what are the
experiences=3F Or does someone have some recent info about improvements
being implemented in the spice code=3F
