If we suspect that the whole firstboot mechanism might not be working
with the new version of Windows, one way to test it (on this one, or a
freshly installed Windows VM) would be:
$ virt-customize -a windows.img --firstboot-command 'echo hello'
and see if "hello" is written in some form to the log.txt file inside
the guest after it boots.
If that doesn't work then it's likely some change in Windows which is
breaking firstboot support.
