No Internet Explorer 7 For Windows 2000

By WebProNews - Wed, 02/16/2005 - 13:14

With the Internet universe buzzing about the upcoming Internet Explorer 7 update, there may be news that can dampen the spirit.

According to PC Magazine, IE 7 will not be compatible with the Windows 2000 environment. In fact, the only Windows users it will be available are those with Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed. The article also discusses how the company from Redmond may have been inspired by Firefox's warm reception

But the news that IE 7.0 will be available only to Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2) customers isn't likely to sit well with security experts who argue that the threat from the Firefox browser is at the center of Microsoft's aggressive anti-spyware and anti-virus plans.

The percentage of Web surfers using Firefox has risen steadily since June, but Microsoft officials are sidestepping the issue altogether.

RE: Windows 2000 Sucks..

Ignorance abounds in the youth of today aparently!

Windows 2000 is one of the strongest, most stable opperating systems in existance! Any idiot knows that.

Who are you then?

Likely a kid running an old 686, Celleron, or Amd K6 piece of refuse. No money, no job, never had such a thing as a real responsability and yet quite full of opinions as if your knowledge or rather lack there-of is of any interest to anyone other than yourself teeming with youthful testosterone and parental disrespect. So what did you to do earn even the piece of crap your mother has so graciously shared with you?

You haven't even learned enough to know how to optimise the machine you have now to assure it's running at it's peak of performance and yet you piss and whine like a little girl...

Grow up. Cut your hair and get a job punk then tell us about how bad it is for you out there once you have earned the machine you're wining about.
