I haven't been able to test SSC Serv on Windows 2008 yet. I'll see if I
can get an installation or an account to test this.

This sounds like a programming mistake. I'll check this out and come
back to you.

According to the MSDN site the information is still provided in the same
way, so yes, it *should* still work.

Yes. I want to move all the data collection code into separate .dll
files, just like the plugins in collectd. Once I have this I will of
course make an API available, so that people can build their own
``plugins'.. I am yet to find a more user-friendly or ``Windows like''
way of allowing users to extend the service to their liking.
