Comment 2 Matthew Booth 2011-09-20 08:39:38 UTC 
This is a known limitation of libguestfs inspection in RHEL 6. It shouldn't have any major detrimental effects.

FWIW, we don't really detect 32 bit Windows 7 either. However, as 32 bit Win2k8r2 doesn't exist, we assume it's Windows 7 if it's 32 bit.
