[issue1636] Windows packages - web site should specify supported Windows versions

[Craig McQueen]

New submission from Craig McQueen <hgbug at craig.mcqueen.id.au>:

I want to try Mercurial, but my work PC is Windows 2000. TortoiseHg web site
seems to indicate that Windows 2000 is not supported. So I looked to see what
the Windows installer packages support. I couldn't find anywhere that says what
Windows versions are supported. This is at:
http://mercurial.berkwood.com/
(linked from the main Mercurial site)

I also looked for this info on the source code pages, under "Windows Install":
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/WindowsInstall

I just suggest that the relevant pages for both source and binary distributions
for Windows should state what Windows versions are supported.
