The Mojca's team of binary magicians boils down to a certain Japanese physicist when it comes down to Windows. You would have to ask him. Citing from TL documentation: "As to Windows: Windows XP and later are supported. Windows 2000 will probably still mostly work." I was trying to find out which versions of Windows are supported in MikTeX because MikTeX was somehow drastic about dropping support for older windows, but I don't find that information on the new website. My personal opinion: if there is a trivial change needed that can make someone's life easier, why not. But I wouldn't bother with dirty hacks to support Windows 2000. However, it's not me that's building the binaries.

It's more something for Mojca's team of binary magicians. I don't know how long one can expect the latest greatest binaries to run old versions of operating systems but maybe it makes sense to update to windows 8 (still pretty cheap this month).
