[issue7863] platform module doesn't detect Windows 7

This patch should cover everything, and it works with 2.6 as well. In order to figure out workstation vs. server, it uses the ProductName from the registry when it can't the info from getwindowsversion. If it finds a server name, it's a server, otherwise fallback to be a workstation.

This was able to correctly differentiate Vista and Server 2008. I don't have access to Server 2008 R2, but I can't imagine it missing a registry key that exists on every computer I looked at (XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7).
