This is not in the 2.0 part of the page.  This only goes for 1.3.  In the
2.0 section:

"This version of Apache is known to work on many versions of Unix, BeOS, OS/2,
 Windows, and Netware. Because of many of the advancements in Apache 2.0, the
 initial release of Apache is expected to perform equally well on all supported
 platforms"

No need, there is no warning ;)

See above.

I think that we can safely assume that Apache 2.0 was targetted at Windows NT 4 and
up.  I personally wouldn't want to have to worry about Windows 9x (for obvious
reasons I think).
