Enhancement request, please:
Is there a chance to have Auto-Discovery identify Windows 2008 Enterprise servers as not Windows Vista and Windows 2008 R2 Standard servers as not Windows 7?

The Autodiscovery Wizard uses nmap on the backend, and OS identification is not exact. It relies on a method called fingerprinting, where it makes a best guess based on a number of attributes from the remote system. Since most machines don't broadcast their OS to the world (for security reasons) the best nmap and therefor the Audiscovery Wizard can do is to make an educated guess.
