Call for assistance: can somebody with access to Windows 8 provide an 
appropriate tested patch so that winProductName can recognize Windows 8 
(various flavors, including Windows Server 8)?

Getting the System Version
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724429%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

has not been updated yet.  Rumor suggests GetVersionEx will return "6.2" 
for Windows 8, but information about distinguishing the various flavors 
is...not easily found?
