Justification
As a convenience to aid support issues, the "friendly" name of the Windows installation should be looked up from the raw version number.

Description
Currently, the RD logs OS version shows as a raw number, e.g.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0 x64

Whilst this is technically correct, it's not particularly convenient. We could look up the version from a known list of Windows build numbers and display a friendly description (here, "Windows 8"), with the actual version number in brackets, e.g.
Operating System: Windows 8, 64-bit (Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0 x64)

Additional context
Note, Client and Server versions often share build numbers. We could either assume a client OS (server usages are not expected), or further query WMI to disambiguate.
