Summary: Link to latest virtio drivers dead in wiki

Initial Comment:
I've previously had success using the latest Virtio Windows drivers from the KVM Wiki instead of the latest (and older) version from Sourceforge on Windows Vista and 2008.

The following page in the wiki links to both the new drivers and the older drivers currently in Sourceforge:
http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/VirtioWindowsDrivers

However, the link to the latest drivers has been dead for at least two weeks, can someone please fix it or upload the latest version to Sourceforge?

Is there any reason why the latest drivers wasn't uploaded to Sourceforge in the first place?

Message:
Ahh, thank you...isn't it quite confusing to have both an old Windows
driver as the "latest" Windows driver in SF and next to it a "driver-iso",
which apparently contains a newer version of the Windows driver??? I have
always seen the iso as a collection of all the drivers, I would never
expect the an "driver-iso" to contain newer versions of the individual
drivers.

If only the driver-iso will get updated in the future, you should really
remove the old Windows driver to avoid confusing.
