2000 and XP are built on the "NT" kernel, while all other versions are simply glorified DOS programs (literally).

The NT-based OSes offer better security and that sorta shit, but I don't know why that would restrict what iTunes runs on. I'm guessing it has to do with DRM (digital rights management) issues.
