Maybe he meant that the original DOS version won't run under W2K/XP.
C&C Gold (for Win95) will run under W2K/XP with a patch from Westwood.

The C&C setup prog doesn't run under W2K/XP, so you'll have to install
it under W95/98, then copy all files to W2K/XP, then apply the Westwood
patch.

I also read somewhere that the setup prog could be run in W9x
compatibility mode,
but that didn't work with my (German) W2K version,
the cross install option mentioned above was the only way to get it
going.

However, please note that modern computers may be way too fast for C&C
Gold.
Some timers inside the game won't be treated correctly.

So I wouldn't set the game speed to 'fastest', use a slightly slower
setting instead;-)
