Windows 2008, when i run the report i get back 2008 servers, but i also get
back 2003 R2 servers. Why is that?

Defining the "product" identifies a list of updates to be included... in
this case, updates that are applicable to Windows Server 2008 systems.
However, those products are not necessarily exclusive to Win2008 systems,
they may also include updates that are applicable to Win2003 systems or
WinVista systems (e.g. IE/OE updates, .NET Framework updates, etc.)

Once you've selected the updates, ANY computer which has a status that
matches the filter criteria will be included. The report does not filter by
installed Operating System.

If you wish to develop a report that exclusively reports on Windows Server
2008 systems, then you need to create a target group that contains only
Windows Server 2008 systems, and define the report filter to include GROUPS
= "Win2008".
