[Openstack] why we need virtio driver for windows instance

Hi Dimitri    Install virtio driver is easy, but if I have a vm from virtual box, and it doesn't have virtio driver, i got no way to install virtio because virtual box is not using virtio disk and nic. So the result is : I can't put that virtual box VM into openstack.

Thanksfrom Peter
