I used the SYSINFO.nOSMajor and SYSINFO.nOSMinor to distinguish Server 2008. I believe if you add the nOSProductType you can distinguish Windows 7.

Windows Server 2008 R2
nOSMajor = 6
nOsMinor = 1
nOSProductType = 3

Windows 7
nOSMajor = 6
nOsMinor = 1
nOSProductType = 1

Here's an article explaining how to Determine Windows Version and Edition
