That's correct, Windows 2000 will also be excluded.
Thanks,

Secondly, starting with b08 the pipeline will only be enabled
on client-class OS (WinXP and newer). Win2K* are classified as
a server-class OS flavor.
The reason for this policy is that typically on servers people
care more about stability than performance, and the drivers
for these systems are lagging behind client OS-es.

Ken,
Please read the subject line.
Windows 2003 and 2008 are server OSes and are quite different
than windows 2000.

The funny thing is that Windows 2000 wasn't a server class OS
when I bought it. It was just the latest Windows. Somewhere
along the line it became a server OS. And I didn't know
I became an Administrator. I guess I didn't get the memo.
And the reason I don't upgrade to XP or (yuk) Vista is that I'd rather
spend my cycles on work rather than fancy icons and animation
to give me a "...richer user interface experience..." Windows 2000
is almost as fast as Windows NT....
I guess it's just a matter of perspective.
And there's no point in telling Microsoft anything -- they
know *ALL* the answers. It's not my fault!

Is fundamentally wrong -- at least in my case.
You may want to tell that to Microsoft then, because in their
next server os (Windows 2008) not only Aero is disabled
by default, it is not even present in the installation,
and the default (and only) theme is Win2k. I guess they have
found that administrators don't care much about fancy
graphics on servers.
Moreover, the vast majority of servers are
administered remotely anyway.
Thanks,
