Remove extra newlines at the beginning/end of files
Those are redundant, and yaml parser strips them in fact. By removing
them, loading and saving yaml file without any change indeed produce the
same output. This is useful for prepare_for_translation.py script (which
adds lang and ref tags) - to produce only change that indeed was made.

Like any other unmodified OSes, Windows can be installed in Qubes as an [HVM](/doc/standalone-and-hvm/) domain.
Qubes Windows Tools are then usually installed to provide integration with the rest of the Qubes system; they also include Xen's paravirtualized (PV) drivers to increase performance compared to qemu emulated devices. Alternatively, only Xen's PV drivers can be installed if integration with Qubes isn't required or if the tools aren't supported on a give version of Windows. In the latter case, one would have to [enable inter-VM networking](/doc/firewall/#enabling-networking-between-two-qubes) to be able to exchange files with HVMs.
