 Yes, I work with SL6 alpha 4

Installation itself . Packages deployment phase is much faster on SL 6 ( alpha 4),
even if I don't pre-load viostor.sys ( option working only on SL 6 )

Yes.

XML profiles for F14 and SL6 will be sent to you a bit latter. I cannot reboot  box right

SL6 = Scientific Linux 6?

And you're saying that Windows 7 is much faster on SL6 than on Fedora 14?

Not sure what 'Virtio SCSI' is.

Are virtio-blk and virtio-net drivers installed in the Windows guest?

What does the libvirt XML for this guest look like (from both SL6 and
