[virt-tools-list] virt-what wrongly detects a surfacebook 2 as virtualpc

Hello,

the check in virt-what that detects running inside virtualpc gives a false positive when using a microsoft surface book 2.
Could this check be updated or disabled for that matter until there is a working check to detect if it is running from virtual pc instead of checking the hardware vendor?

a dmidecode on a surfacebook 2 lists the hw manufacturer as Microsoft which is correct but the dmidecode based check for virtual pc uses this to detect if it is running virtual or not.

Best regards,
William van de Velde
