Hi,
I'm looking to find some information about the current status of the
Windows virtio drivers.
Are they certified by Microsoft?
Is there a timeline for this?
Will the drivers be included in future MS operating system DVD distribution?
Thanks,
Saul

[YV] Drivers that were released with RHEL 5.4 are certified by MS for
Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and Window 2008 R2. Drivers that
will be released with RHEL 5.5 will also include Windows 7 certification.

[YV] We are also working to push certified drivers as part of Fedora 13.

[YV] No timeline for this. We definitely would like this to happen, but
the process is in its beginning.
Some additional comments regarding MS certification (might be different
from things accustomed in open source community): Driver certification is
per specific binary and not for the code base. So there is specific binary
version of the driver that got MS certification.

Hi,
Are you talking about both network & block drivers?
Thanks,
Saul

[YV] Yes. Only difference for block - Windows XP certified driver wasn't
release with RHEL5.4. It should be in RHEL 5.5.

Will these block drivers for XP be optimized in terms of performance
or will they, like the current ones, still be slower than the regular
IDE emulated block devices? [1]
