libosinfo lists win2k8 and win7 as 2 totally unrelated OSes:

<os id="http://microsoft.com/win/2k8">
    <short-id>win2k8</short-id>
    <name>Microsoft Windows Server 2008</name>
    <version>6.0</version>
    <vendor>Microsoft Corporation</vendor>
    <family>winnt</family>
    <distro>win</distro>
    <derives-from id="http://microsoft.com/win/2k3r2"/>
    <upgrades id="http://microsoft.com/win/2k3r2"/>
</os>

<os id="http://microsoft.com/win/7">
    <short-id>win7</short-id>
    <name>Microsoft Windows 7</name>
    <version>6.1</version>
    <vendor>Microsoft Corporation</vendor>
    <family>winnt</family>
    <distro>win</distro>
    <derives-from id="http://microsoft.com/win/vista"/>
    <upgrades id="http://microsoft.com/win/vista"/>
</os>

Editions would split these entries some more, but would not create
relations between win2k8 and win7, so I think more work will be needed to
support your use case. What is the problem that you are trying to solve
with this desktop/server relations in Windows versions?
