If M$ 2000 = Windows 2000 Workstation. That product is dead. Microsoft is only releasing updates for Windows 2000 for paying support customers.

If you are so inclined as to run that OS. The main point is that even software and hardware manufacturers will continue to support the OS as long as Microsoft does. When M$ put the nail in the coffin for 98/ME others started to follow. With that information in hand many companies are content to still run XP if they have even upgraded to it yet. Now what is needed is for more companies to produce their commercial software as cross platform encompassing the major operating systems (linux, OS X.3,4,5, M$ 2000, XP, Vista). There are far too many instances of "if only" keeping people from running Linux as their primary or only OS. Reliable numbers are needed to show its strength on the desktop especially compared to OS X as many companies are making their software available for Apple too (Adobe/Macromedia, Intuit). At least Google is doing what they can on porting some of the apps over that they have acquired. GoogleEarth and Picasa are a good start. I hope Nero decides to keep their NeroLinux updated too as I rather like it and was happy to purchase a license for it. And while we're at it, I want a full Quicktime implementation on Linux. I don't care about iTunes as I don't like DRM laden music but I do like watching the movie trailers on Apple.com.
