Win7 and Win2008 *R2* share the same signature. Win2008 and Vista share the same signature.
In short:
To view which folder corresponds to which operating system, double-click the .cat file in the driver folder and, on the Security Catalog tab, click a hash. Under Entry details, you will find the OSAttr, which means the following:

2.5.0 = Windows 2000
2:5.1 = Windows XP
2:5.2 = Windows Server 2003
2:6.0 = Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
2:6.1 = Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 x64
