About

SPICE (the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments) is a remote-display system built for virtual environments. The Guest Agent leverages the protocol to provide several features, such as client mouse mode, automatic adjustment of the Windows desktop resolution to the client resolution, and Support of copy and paste (text and images) between the active Windows session and the client.
