Well that looks embarrassingly like a complete lack
of unicode-awareness in the wmi module. Would you
mind trying this version:

http://timgolden.me.uk/wmi-project/wmi.py

which is a copy of the svn trunk to see if that
improves the UnicodeDecode error, please? I'll
try to get an install of a non-English edition of
Windows but, as you might imagine, I normally run
the UK version so don't hit these kind of issue
myself.
