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 ; ;Note to user: DO NOT ALTER OR DELETE THIS FILE. ; [SMS Inventory Identification] Version=1.0 [Product Specification] Product=Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition Version=5.0 Localization=English ServicePackNumber=0 BitVersion=40 [Version] DriverVer=10/01/2002,5.2.3790.0 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
