If you select other pv 32/64 bit for the template os selection it will 
instantiate children vms with virtio virtual components.

Hi,
I just noticed that Windows guests, even with 2012 profile will be
provisioned with e1000 network driver opposed to virtio

  <interface type='bridge'>

       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'

Is it in some way possible to prevent and use virtio for all windows 2008
and higher guests ?

Thanks,
