Version: 1:1.0.1-3

Hello.
I created a new VM with Virt Manager GUI, selected Windows 7 and in the storage part, it suggests to
create it with 8 Gb, then Windows 7 Ultimate Spanish installer didn't allow to install, I had to
recreate the VM and modify the storage to 15 Gb.
After installing it, I checked and it uses 8.77 Gb.
I expected the default value to be appropiate as a minimum with some spare space, so I suggest
modifying it to be 12 Gb to have some room for updates and maybe installing a couple of programs.
Also, it suggests to use 512 Mb of RAM which is too tight, I suggest 768 Mb as a minimum.
If these settings aren't set by selected OS, then they should be or at least some labels should be
put in place with the recommended minimal values for the OS selected.
Thanks!
