virt-inspector can tell you it is Windows, and with a bit of extra
work we could work out what version of Windows it is too. (In fact
virt-inspector can't do this last bit at the moment, mainly because I
have no idea how).
Apparently it is contained in the file %systemroot%\system32\
prodspec.ini so as a temporary measure you could use virt-cat. This
works for me:
$ virt-cat Win2003x32 /WINDOWS/system32/prodspec.ini
