Comment 9 Yaniv Lavi 2015-01-19 17:48:43 UTC 
Original request:

1. What is the nature and description of the request?  
Currently we dont have a rhev-guest-tool that supports for Win8.1 and Win2K12 because of no spice and virtio-win driver.

The customer needs the rhevm guest tool for Win8.1 and Win2K12. Based on BZ#1054216, its not available due to the below reason:
   - no spice driver for those OSes.
   - no virtio-win drivers for those OSes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhevm 3.3
      
2. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)  

We should have this rhev-guest-tool for Win8.1 and Win2K12 as most of the customers deploying this in their RHEV environment due to the project requirement and lask of this is stopping them from using rhev.

Please note: we do have virtio-win drivers for both 2K12R2 Server and Win 8.1, and they are already included in the rhev-guest-tools package.

We do currently missing Spice (QXL) driver for 2K12, 2K12R2 and Win 8 and 8.1, as these are in development.
