+    <p>Add USB redirection support in new VMs and option to add it into existing VMs. i-e You can use your 
USB devices (camera, flash drive etc) plugged into host from the guest operating system.</p>
+    <p>Smartcard support.</p>
+    <p>Automatically download and installation of all virtio and QXL drivers, and spice-vdagent as part of 
Windows XP and Windows 7 express installation. This means following working out of the box:
+Copy and paste between host and VM. Guest resolution automatically adjusted to fit the Boxes window. Very 
efficient disk I/O (helps in reducing installation time e.g).</p>
+    <p>[[http://www.ovirt.org/Documentation|oVirt]] support.</p>
+    <p>Option to pause VMs from selection view.</p>
+    <p>Otions to select all, none and running boxes.</p>
+    <p>Allow accessing properties for non-running VMs (through selection view).</p>
+    <p>Allow tweaking properties for remote machines in the wizard.</p>
+    <p>looks a lot more like UI mockups and more consistent with Documents.</p>
+    <p>Add initial experience greeting. As a consequence, we don't auto-launch wizard on first time usage 
anymore.</p>
+    <p>Support for changing the CD-ROM device/ISO from properties.</p>
+    <p>Selecting item when maximized automatically enters fullscreen view.</p>
+    <p>Mark recommended RAM and storage of guest OS (when known) in properties.</p>
+    <p>Allow search with multiple terms. A search like "foo bar" now means name containing "foo" and "bar". 
This is nicer, and what you expect from e.g. gnome-shell search.</p>
+    <p>Allow drag to unfullscreen Boxes.</p>
+    <p>Troubleshooting log viewer to system properties.</p>
+    <p>Loads of other fixes and minor improvements. For more details:
