When IBM (company with much longer involvemen in Linux) makes Fedora 7-only SDK there are no problems, but when Google supports single distribution it's weird??? Come on, it's not that unusual: it's pretty common for platform kits to be pretty rigid. You need Windows 2000 SP4 only (don't try Windows XP or Vista) and package must be installed on D:\ or "bad thing will happen" - that's typical instruction I've seen.
