This is what I meant for conditional package inclusion in my response to Jürgen. 
But actually I did go an even easier way to have an independent profile for W8 
nodes. This gives me full flexibility to assign any package independently to 
Windows 8.

But for sure your example might just work just as fine as an independent profile 
- it's just a bit harder to read what packages really get applied if you have 
many such conditions in the profile definition.

And yes, I think it would make more sense to check for installed IE version as 
IE10 is likely offered for Windows 7 later as well and perhaps it's going to 
include Flash as well - so also for Windows 7 the standalone installer should 
disappear when IE10 is deployed.
