Package: virtinst
Version: 0.400.3-4
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
A network Virtio driver is available for Windows 2000, XP and Vista (and I 
successfully tested it in Windows Server 2003 and Windows 7 too) but there is 
no support for it in Windows variants from the OS dictionary. Using a Virtio 
NIC needs to install the driver in the virtual machine so perhaps some people 
will not agree with this, but at least a new Windows variant should be added 
to the list to allow to install a Windows virtual machine with network Virtio 
support.
