FWIW, Microsoft says the way to determine 2k8 from Vista is by checking if wProductType contains VER_NT_WORKSTATION: <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724833.aspx>. Cygwin already does this internally for wincap and so wincap.is_server () should be true for 2k8, but I don't think this is accessible by any public uname-like interface. cygcheck also does this for the "-s" output, so grepping that would also be an option to distinguish 2k8 if it's really necessary, although cygcheck -s is very slow as it has to search a bunch of path stuff so I don't think that's all that useful.
