I use win2K. What I have included was the solution who to solve this 
incompatibility.

I don't know. 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).

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.

Would you please tell me the name and the email address of this 
physicist?

Akira Kakuto is doing an amazing job by building the binaries for
windows, see http://w32tex.org. (The rest goes off-list.)
