There are ominous signs that suggests that the days of Windows 2000 are numbered. Windows 2000 is still on my desktop and is working well (I do have Windows XP Pro on my laptop).
I wanted to see how the desktop system would compare to the requirements of Windows Vista. Microsoft supplies a site to prepare for an upgrade to Vista.
link: Vista Upgrade Advisor
As you can see, the advisor does not work for Windows 98 or Windows 2000. Perhaps that is a hint of things to come. In any case, it is not very reassuring.

1It gets more confusing. If you have Windows 2000, you’re eligible to purchase the upgrade editions of Vista. However, you can’t perform an upgrade, a clean install is required.
Windows 2000 is all but dead as far as Microsoft is concerned. Since June 2005 it’s been on “extended support”. IE7 and other products are not including Win2K. Security updates and all support will end in 2010.

2Thank god for no IE7 for Windows 2000, we only got it for Windows XP because of Firefox eating IE’s market share, not for any other reason.
