On July 13, 2010, the Extended Support phase for all editions of Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Professional (...) will end. What does "End-of-Support" mean for Windows 2000? At the end of the Extended Support phase for Windows 2000, customers will not have access to the following: * New security updates * Non-security hotfixes Unsupported products or service packs pose a significant risk to your computer’s security. Therefore, Microsoft advises customers to migrate to the latest supported service pack and/or product prior to the end of support.

There a still a couple of machines at my work which run Windows 2000. It's quite impressive that there was still support for a product first released in 1999!
