RFR (S): Recognize windows 8

[Mikael Vidstedt]

I fully agree with you that that is a good idea and I actually started 
doing that first, I still have that change in another sandbox. It became 
rather big and scary in the end though so I'm proposing that I do that 
as a separate change after 7u6 to reduce the risk. Ok?

Cheers,
Mikael
