Yes that is correct.
Webkit requirements says XP OS, but I went ahead and did fresh
installs of ruby/watir/webdriver and devkit in the W2k system and
retested. Here's a thread.... showing the devkit install and
subsequent launch of ie6 using watir-webdriver.

Configures an MSYS/MinGW based Development Kit (DevKit) for
each of the Ruby installations on your Windows system. The
DevKit enables you to build many of the available native
C-based RubyGems that don't yet have a binary gem.

where COMMAND is one of:
init prepare DevKit for installation

C:\devkit>ruby dk.rb review
Based upon the settings in the 'config.yml' file generated
from running 'ruby dk.rb init' and any of your customizations,
DevKit functionality will be injected into the following Rubies

3. Considering the ancient OS its understandable. I dont recall if
selenium every supported W2K.
