Blizzard has announced that they are ending support for both Windows XP and Windows Vista across Diablo III, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, StarCraft II and World of Warcraft. This will be a "staggered process," but it's a hard cutoff once a given title loses support -- it won't run until you upgrade. While there is "decent" number of people running XP and Vista when Microsoft ended support for those OS’, that's no longer the case. The "vast majority" of players have moved on to newer Windows releases, Blizzard says. As Ars Technica points out, the move may well be linked to the internet connection requirement for these titles.
