The real question here is: Will Windows 7 finally kill Windows 2000?

Windows 2k is effectively dead. 

For the most part the only people still holding onto it are the ones who can't afford to upgrade, refuse to upgrade (because they're cheap), or unable to upgrade due to legacyware.  Microsoft could release an OS that's 200% faster and more efficient and that serves them milk and cookies but still not get them to upgrade.

 

Incorrect. While much of that is at least partially true, it's not entirely true. Most people still using 2k don't upgrade because 2k does serve their computing needs better. They don't refuse to upgrade because they're cheap - they refuse to upgrade because 2k is better for them, period.

I still use 2k alongside XP on one of my systems, and I occasionally find reasons to use 2k instead. And I appreciate it therefore.
