If you ask me for my guess, this check was saying "something new was introduced in Windows 2000" (note that NT 4 and Windows 98 PRE-DATE Windows 2000). And all the other OSes they are looking for come AFTER Windows 2000.
So they wanted to test on Windows 2000 and LATER.
However this exact match requirement means that this test has surely been skipped for the last ~ 10 years .. whenever we stopped testing on XP .. 
And until you remove the check I suspect you have no idea if this test passes today on Windows 10, or is relevant.
You will need to remove the check, run the test locally and observe, and then run on the CI test system.
Probably its still valid but you need to be sure.
