Thanks. However, in the "OS" section there are now 2 instances of "Windows Server 2012", you'll probably want to get rid of one of them.

Also for improved appearance and ease of use it would be nice to order the entries in that section. I'd recommend (from top to bottom):

- Desktop OS versions, most recent at top
- Then server OS versions, most recent at top

I was also thinking of differentiating between obsolete and current versions e.g.

- Current Desktop
- Current Server
- Obsolete Desktop
- Obsolete Server

but even now that's not an obvious split, Server 2003/2003 R2 and Windows XP are obsolete/no longer supported, but still widely used.
