I usually stick up for Microsoft, but if this is true ... it sucks. The new editions of IE need to be backwards-compatible.

Not surprising. I still pick Win2K over XP.

I am a win2k user (an excellent system), and now that I know I will never taste the sweet, forbidden fruit that is IE7, I say...

I could care less; my Win2K box at work has Mozilla installed.

Who cares.
I have Firefox 1.0.4 and Maxthon 1.3.1 installed on my Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) system, so the new features of Internet Explorer 7.0 are not needed for me.

I have a Win2k box at work. I use Firefox on it too, so I could care less about whether it will run IE7.

Although Windows 2000 will be supported until 2010, at the end of June of this year Microsoft will no longer accept requests for design changes or new features for the operating system.
I usually stick up for Microsoft, but if this is true ... it sucks. The new editions of IE need to be backwards-compatible.

Just another reason to learn Linux. And I hate trying to have to teach myself another OS, but between this, and MS's new licensing schemes, I guess I'll have to.
They really are shooting themselves in the foot with this stuff.

They have an alternative in Firefox or Netscape. And by then Longhorn will be available. How many still use Windows 95? That was like ages ago!

Oh, no. We better upgrade to WinXP, now!
Honestly... why does MS think we stuck with Win2K all this time???

IE 7, which will be available in beta this summer, will offer improved security features and basic tabbed browsing. It is also expected to offer improved standards support, including enhanced support for CSS 2 and PNG transparencies. Its about damn time!

Can you say "Firefox", little boys and girls?
To: Panerai
I'd like to see Microsoft get away from integrating the browswer into the O/S, which is directly causing this problem. On the other hand, Win2K is over 5 years old, and basically no vendor provides free support for operating systems that long in the tooth. The fact that it is that old yet still a reliable O/S for many is more of a plus than a minus.
To: Panerai
Microsoft has drawn some criticism after confirming that it will not make the next version of Internet Explorer available to users of its Windows 2000 operating system.
I guess I will move to Foxfire then.
To: Panerai
When IE 6 no longer gets the job done, remove it and go to a different browser.
This is great news for browsers like Firefox.
