I just checked the FAQs and found this, which confirms my earlier memories:

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows#What_versions_of_Windows_does_PostgreSQL_run_on.3F

However, as Craig pointed out, you REALLY don't want to trust your data

safer solution, or else get your clients to upgrade. :-)
