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 ?

Yes, efforts are under way to both certify them (get them signed via the MS WHQL process) and optimize them. Soon is the best time estimation I can give, perhaps very soon.

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

Greetings !
