windows server 2008 and 2008 r2
windows server 2008 r2 and windows 7 with service pack 1 should be added to the list, however server 2008 sp1 is the original release of server 2008. server 2008 was released in 2008, so it already had service pack 1 included in the RTM codebase.

Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Need to add BOTH "Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)" and "Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)

System=Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
VersionNT=600
WindowsBuild=6001
ServicePackLevel=1

System=Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
VersionNT=601
WindowsBuild=7601
ServicePackLevel=1

Wrong VersionNT-number in system?
I installed the RTM-version (7600.16385.x86fre.win7_rtm.090713-1255) the moment it became available to mme through download. Oddly enough, VersionNT reports to me as having the value of "700" instead of "601", causing a number of installations to fail because they check for "VersionNT=601" instead of "VersionNT>=601".

Editing the installation with Orca usually helps.

History
VersionNT for XP x64, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2
I believe the following are correct (and missing from the documentation above):

VersionNT and VersionNT64 are 502 on Windows XP x64. I.e. the same as Windows Server 2003. Use MsiNTProductType to differentiate (1 is client OS, > 1 is server OS).

VersionNT and VersionNT64 are 601 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Again, use MsiNTProductType to differentiate (as with Vista vs 2008).

ServicePackLevel for Windows Server 2008 is not correct.

Windows Server 2008 is a "Vista" system and ships with SP1 already included (the generally available [GA] DVD anyway, prior 'release candidate' [RC] DVDs did not include SP1).

The Windows Server 2008 information in this spreadsheet for ServicePackLevel is not correct. On Windows Server 2008 systems created using the generally available (GA) installation DVD, the ServicePackLevel is "1".

How to differentiate Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
At present VersionNT number and WindowsBuild numbers are the same for Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008

What will happen when there will be SP1 form Windows Server 2008? How can installer detect correctly OS installed?
