Yep; there's room for additional enhancements if needed, too. For
example, one could do the sync in Linux and have as part of the base
redistributed Windows image the QXL GPU drivers and virtio-scsi drivers
so that Windows is configured to be hypervisor-friendly.  (That
significantly increases performance on a Windows guest.)
