As the Xspice's description in Readme, i get that Xspice is a X server and spice server in one, running in guest os, but our team has developed a set of windows virtual desktop in which the spiceserver is deployed in HOST os linked with QEMU, and i think that is coordinated with the spice protocol.,

Hi Cynthia,

Xspice was developed with the (Linux) server/host in mind, not the guest.
Running on a server, it enable remote access to a physical machine using 
Spice.

Of course, it can instead run on the guest, but that was not its purpose.
We already had a solution for the guest that uses Spice, as you've 
mentioned.

Hope that helps,
     Uri.
