I am running Python 64Bit on my Windows machine and almost every library could have been installed my sides with the MSSDK and the Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition compiler in the background, that tasks are invoked automatically by easy_install. So, instead of making yourself continuously headache for an outdated OS I advise taking a low performance OS like, let us say, xubunutu that has a light environment instead of gnome3 or kde4 for a WindowsXP designed CPU.
