A standard microsoft trick, to get you to upgrade the OS.

For some applications, such as drivers for hardware, firewalls, network 
monitoring software etc, it would be more work to write the program to 
work on multiple versions of Windows.

For a metric converter, that is very different. There is no reason on 
earth why it could not be made to work on any version of Windoze.

Of course, just because it says XP only, does not necessarily mean it 
will not work on an older version, although the installer might refuse 
to install it.
