	* as of this writing (2011-Nov-08), latest drivers are of version "15", dated "15-Jun-2011", with the CD image being virtio-win-0.1-mm34.iso. In that image, WindowsXP drivers does not seem to work, it is impossible to install them using regular winXP driver interface. But the previous drivers, version "14" as found on this [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/ Directory], dated "13-Jan-2011", from CD image named "virtio-win-1.1.16.iso", installs on winXP fine. (note: in my experience, the "15" drivers work just fine on XP, except the organization of the ISO is awful - the network driver is found in XP\x86 directory, while the storage, serial and balloon drivers are in WXp\x86 directory; drivers for other Windows versions are similarly scattered)
	* 2011-12-21: Debian Lenny Server uses the quite outdated kvm-72. The current network drivers from RedHat/Fedora do not even install (tested on XP/2003) - using the "Windows-2" virtio drivers from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/2/ kvm-guest-drivers-2] is ok. The floppy disk image with the virtio-block driver (for F6 installation) provided by the Fedora Project (virtio-win-1.1.16) works with kvm-72, though.
