Description Samo Dadela 2014-05-07 13:35:56 UTC 
http://www.spice-space.org/download.html states:

Windows binaries:

    Windows guest tools - spice-guest-tools-0.74.exe
    This installer contains some optional drivers and services that can be installed in Windows guest to improve SPICE performance and integration. This includes the qxl video driver and the SPICE guest agent (for copy and paste, automatic resolution switching, ...)
    Windows QXL driver
    This is not needed if you are using the Windows guest tools installer above. 
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Turns out that the w2k8 R2 QXL video drivers can are not in spice-guest-tools-0.74.exe but can be found under "Windows QXL driver".
