Could you build this?
No It is a low-level Windows guest service interacting directly with the SPICE virtualization protocol, Windows kernel/display drivers, and virtualization APIs.
What it would actually take: Requires deep systems programming expertise in C/C++, Windows Internals, Win32 APIs, and hypervisor guest-host communication interfaces (virtio/VDI). Development involves maintaining low-level display resizing, clipboard sharing, mouse integration drivers, and debugging system-level crashes within virtual machines.
