AFAIK as for the reduced status of support for W2K most of Symantec's
newer 2007 line of their products do not support W2K like NIS 2007 you've just 
mentioned.

NIS 2007 Sys reqs:
<http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/sysreq.jsp?pcid=is&pvid=nis2007>

Symantec figures that their developers will have much less of a host of legacy 
win 9x and
2K OS'es to support and reduce some of their dev costs in supporting it. They 
have been
focusing more on Windows XP and Vista with the 2007 product line.

If you want to keep NIS running with W2K and Win 9X its best to stick with NIS 
2006 or older
versions since they still support these legacy OS'es and it would help to get a 
PC with a 2.0GHz
CPU and 512MB or more of memory since NIS, NSW 2006 are huge resource hogs.

Their quoted sys reqs of 128MB of RAM and 300 MHz Cpu for NPF 2006 come no 
where close to adequate
and neither for NIS 2006 and NSW 2006. I wouldn't bet 128MB of ram on it. ;)

And things like the 2007 version of Symantec Internet Security won't install
on it
(so there's some good in the reduced status)
