I do have a machine in my laptop graveyard with Vista. The only WS2008
instace I have available is R2 and AWS doesn't seem to have any AMIs for R1.

Honestly, I don't think these matter terribly much. Anyone building now
is not likely to be targeting them.

Of the buildfarm animals, dory looks OK, hamerkop, bowerbird and thrips
look not ok, and whelk and woodlouse look borderline.

I'm perfectly prepared to upgrade bowerbird if necessary.

cheers
