Hi Gianluigi,

thanks for the report and the suggestion, I've just pushed that accordingly:
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/os-prober.git/commit/?id=15dec5c

There are two files dealing with Microsoft products:
  os-probes/mounted/x86/20microsoft
  os-probes/mounted/x86/efi/20microsoft

The former relies on grep for the Vista section (modified by the patch),
but not for the other ones. The latter does things differently.

So hopefully that should be all.

Mraw,
KiBi.
