Updates to Chrome on Server 2008 stopped?

Reported by alan.ev...@tarmac.com, May 11 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Chrome on Windows Server 2008
2. Launch Chrome
3. Message "This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because Windows XP and Windows Vista will no longer be supported"

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect Chrome to update

What went wrong?
It appears that "Windows Server 2008" is being incorrectly identified as "Vista" and prompting this message. Windows Server 2008 is still in support by Microsoft until 2020

Did this work before? Yes v49

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.94  Channel: stable
OS Version: Server 2008 x64
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Chrome is no longer supported on Windows Server 2008.
Thats a shame, as the following google article infers that support for chrome has been dropped for XP/Vista due to Microsoft doing the same
https://chrome.googleblog.com/2015/11/updates-to-chrome-platform-support.html

However  Microsoft are supporting Vista until 2017 and 'Server 2008' until 2020
