Subject: Any efforts going on concerning virtio Host Drivers for Windows ?

Hi List,
we are already using kvm successfully a while here for our internal 
Infrastructure. Up to now we're having good results with Linux Guests 
and are quite happy with kvm.
Now it's time to replace some of our current Windows Infrastructure and 
I'm evaluating Windows 2k3 and 2k8 on KVM vhosts. While virtio does 
currently successfully boost our Linux Guests I only found network 
virtio drivers for Windows. These help quiet a bit speeding things but 
we're well behind our hopes currently. Blockdevice drivers seem to be 
missing at all.

Since I found no evidence of anything evolving here: Are any efforts 
going on creating or optimizing such drivers ? Can anyone expect seeing 
something anytime soon ?

If anyone can shed some light in this i would be pleased to read your 
answers.

Greetings !
Wilken Haase
