Red Hat open sources SPICE for desktop virtualization

“Whey SPICE is particularly interesting and important is the
fact that it’s a key part of a core Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization for Desktops which is now in beta. Red Hat rolled
out a big server virtualization released last month based on
Qumranet tech as well. The problem with the server release is it
required Windows (which I personally found quite jarring). By
having SPICE as an open source project, the Windows-only type
problem is less likely to happen. It also means that Red Hat can
built a community of developers and early adopter that will help to
debug and extend SPICE beyond what Red Hat can do internally.”
