Windows 2000 is fully supported, even Win98SE. I just installed the 0.1.12.1
release (compiled with mingw) on win2k-sp4 (vmplayer install) and it works
like a charm.

Don't use the DDK's Win2k build environment, use the XP or the
Server 2003 build environment even if you want to compile for Win2k.

You are right, Vista-64bit won't let you install unsigned drivers. 
This means that this platform is currently not supported.
To resolve this issue, future versions of libusb-win32 will use Vistas 
built-in kernel driver winusb.sys.

XP-64bit and Server-2003-64bit are supported. Use the files
libusb0_x64.dll and libusb0_x64.sys on these systems.
