Here's the comment in CLogDlg.cpp for that feature:
// we *could* enable checkboxes on pre Vista OS too, but those don't have
// the LVS_EX_AUTOCHECKSELECT style. Without that style, users could get
// very confused because selected items are not checked.
// Also, while handling checkboxes is implemented, most code paths in this
// file still only work on the selected items, not the checked ones.

So yes, that feature is only available on Vista and later.
