Everyone missed the #1 point. Beside politics, there's a primary issue. There is no way to buy a Windows 2000 license as of today. Due to the settlement of the Sun-Microsoft case, Microsoft can't legally sell Windows 2000 license anymore. I can't get a buildbot on Windows 2000 anymore. And we can't support a platform that we can't test on a buildbot. And no, we won't use an old Pentium 120mhz as a buildbot. :)
Thanks for your comprehension.
