+
+Vagrant 1.6 will add a monumental feature to Vagrant: full Windows guest support.
+The ability of Vagrant to manage Windows environments just as easy as
+Linux environments has been requested for years and the time for
+complete, official support has come.
+
+Please don't mistake guest support for running Vagrant _on Windows_. Vagrant
+has fully supported running on Windows for years, and works great. Vagrant
+1.6 adds support for Vagrant to run Windows within the Vagrant environments
+(in VirtualBox, Hyper-V, EC2, etc.).
+
+The Windows guest support coming in Vagrant 1.6 allows you to spin up
+Windows environments just as easily as you would Linux environments, and
+lets you use PowerShell scripts, Chef, Puppet, etc. to install and configure
+software.
+
+And just as Linux has `vagrant ssh` as a first-class citizen, Windows
+guests have `vagrant rdp`, which allow single-command access
+to a complete remote desktop environment to your Windows environment.
+
+Read on to learn more.

+### Demo
+
+Seeing is believing, so we've prepared a couple videos below showing
+how easy it is to use Vagrant with Windows guests.

+
+### Windows
+
+Windows is hugely popular and support for Windows development environments
+has been the most requested feature by far for the recent year.
+
+The Windows support is as easy to use as the Linux support: you just need
+a box file that has Windows pre-installed, then you `vagrant up`. Synced
+folders, networking, and provisioners all work.
+
+Vagrant is able to communicate with Windows over either **SSH** or
+**WinRM**. WinRM is more conventional, but if you have Cygwin installed with
+an SSH server, Vagrant is able to use that too.
+
+The support for WinRM is new in 1.6. For backwards compatibily reasons,
+you must explicitly tell Vagrant when to use WinRM:
+
+```
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  # ...
+
+  config.vm.communicator = "winrm"
+end
+```
+
+That is the only change that is necessary for Vagrant to use Windows!
+Vagrant will automatically detect that the operating system in its
+environment is Windows, and will adapt accordingly.
+
+Provisioners such as shell scripts, Chef, and Puppet are fully supported
+and will run within Windows Vagrant environments. The shell provisioner
+will run PowerShell and batch scripts if it is being used over WinRM.
+
+### RDP
+
+Accessing a Windows machine is unlike accessing a Linux machine. The
+primary method for performing administrative tasks on Windows is via
+[Remote Desktop](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol).
+
+For Linux, Vagrant provides `vagrant ssh` for one-command access to
+the machine. We wanted to make accessing a Windows machine just as easy,
+so we've created the `vagrant rdp` command. This command opens an RDP
+client pre-configured to communicate to the Vagrant environment.
+
+If SSH is available, `vagrant ssh` will still work for Windows.
+
+To open a PowerShell or command prompt, use `vagrant rdp` to open the
+remote desktop client, then open the appropriate console. This is the
+conventional way to work with remote Windows machines.
+
+### Thanks vagrant-windows!
+
+Early in the Vagrant 1.6 development process,
+[Shawn Neal](https://github.com/sneal) and
+[Paul Morton](https://github.com/pmorton) became core committers to
+Vagrant. These are two of the brains behind
+[vagrant-windows](https://github.com/WinRb/vagrant-windows), an impressive
+Vagrant plugin that has been unofficially bringing Windows guest
+support to Vagrant for years.
+
+The core of the Windows support presented in this feature preview
+today has been from reintegrating vagrant-windows into Vagrant itself.
+Supporting Windows in such a smooth way wouldn't have been possible
+without the work done by these folks, and the public should know of
+their contribution.
+
+Thank you vagrant-windows team!
+
+### Next
+
+This is a huge milestone for Vagrant. At least one person at every
+conference talk given by myself in the past two years has asked me when Vagrant
+will support Windows. I'm excited to finally be able to say "it does now!"
+
+Next week we'll continue this series with another feature preview.
+The feature we'll be covering next week is a fun one.
