Bug Description

Binary package hint: os-prober

os-prober does not probe for Windows Server 2008 (R2) in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft. This leads to these OSs being labeled "Windows Vista (loader)" in the boot menu.
Attached is a patch that fixes this by probing for the respective strings in $2/$boot/$bcd just as is done for Windows 7.
