Excuse, I lost track of the colon.. there should be NO colon following the closing tag in the below snippet. This is the correct snippet:

<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>

    ...
    <!-- Microsoft Windows 7 -->
    <OPERATING_SYSTEM>
      <VERSION VALUE="6.1"/>
    </OPERATING_SYSTEM>
</CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>

Sorry for any inconvenience caused...

Cheers,
Tony
