Indeed. Malware writers are lazy an will likely be using whatever
development frameworks are currently available. Thus they will be
(unknowingly) using more recent APIs that don't exist in earlier
Windows versions. They also like to use Powershell scripts and
..NET code which is not present on some versions of XP and below.
It's unlikely they'll be deliberately targeting systems below XP.

BTW, I'm posting this from Windows 2000, the best version MS ever
made!
