Is that also the reason that the Windows VirtIO Drivers are not
available in any CentOS repository?  They are freely available
upstream from linux-kvm.org. I'm actually using Fedora's
virtio-win-0.1-100.iso CD-ROM image, which I find more convenient
than where the RPM would install those files. Could something be
done to make either the RPM or the .iso a bit easier to find
from CentOS?
