+SPICE guest tools for Windows virtual machines.
+
+This package contains the Windows spice-guest-tools installer ISO
+image that you can attach to your Windows QEMU/KVM virtual machines.
+
+The installer contains the following components:
+- SPICE vdagent,
+- QEMU guest agent,
+- Windows Virtio drivers.
+
+If the optional dependency p7zip is installed, Windows Virtio drivers
+floppy disk images are packaged too.
+
+The purpose of these images is to provide instant access to the Windows
+Virtio drivers. In particular, the drivers can be easily accessed during
+the Windows installation phase. This allows, for example, to install
+the guest using Virtio SCSI disk directly, instead of first going
+through the installation of the standard IDE disk controller.
