not sure how many people have actually tried this....but I ran a little test the other day.
Laptop (fedora 18) Server (fedora 18) ...running a windows7 guest. *All qemu, libvirt and spice packages were Fedora defaults....as in what you find in the standard repo. I took my laptop to my brothers house (5 miles away) and used "spicec" to connect to my windows7 guest...."shift+F11" to full screen and launched a 720p HD movie via VLC (running in the windows guest)...... if you've not seen it before it'll take your breath away :))))) ....it's not 100% perfect....but it's at least 98% perfect. ...yes we both have virgin media broadband (UK) .... BUT ping response times are in the 20ms After that test, I've been working day and night designing a spice thin client (hardware) because it's obvious that the way the "majority" of people use a PC's is about to change.
