Virtual WorkStation (or Vitus Wagner's Spice) is set of script wrappers to QEMU/KVM intened to use on notebooks or developer's workstations, where few virtual machines exist, these machines are seldom created and guest OS configurations are carefully tuned.

<h2>Main objectives:</h2>
* If it doesn't run, it doesn't run. No daemon processes, no extra open ports, only one qemu process per running machine.
* Virtual machines should be kept as isolated as possible. One should be able to easily move them around, even to the hosts wbere no VWS installed.
* Most virtual machines are workstations, which means you need GUI, sound, USB devices etc on them.
* Use of our scripts shouldn't prevent users from operating directly with QEMU command line and monitor.
* Script layer should be as thin as possible, readable and understandable by almost anyoune
* No new hairy formats should be invented, just a simple conventions how to store VMs in filesystem to make in operable by scripts and how to put options into shell scripts to make them editable by wizard-like interface
* No attempt to support every virtualization technology out there. Concentrate on QEMU and do our best with it.
