Would that be possible? The OS dictionary is (currently) only ever
used for initial installation. The Windows VirtIO drivers can only
be installed post-install. So, AFAICT, it wouldn't be possible todo a
install with virtio enabled in the os dictionary for Windows. Unless
perhaps there's a way to provide them as a driver disk to the initial
installer ? If we booted with a 2nd CDROM or floppy device containing
the VirtIO drivers would the Windows installer be able to use that ?
