Issue #7621 has been updated by William Van Hevelingen.

I don't have a strong reason, but its seems that using xp or 7 is easier than 
remembering kernel versions. Although, If I get some help we might be able to 
make it a regex instead of comparing to constants. I got stuck on the how to 
account for "2008 R2"

will do

yes

yes
