It is not relatively unsupported, it is UNSUPPORTED completely. Microsoft dropped all support for Windows 2000 last year I think. It is the reason we are finally migrating from 2000 to XP here at work. If you are going to use a Microsoft operating system, I would not recommend using anything older than Windows XP especially if you want support. There are security flaws found in Microsoft products almost weekly and if those flaws are no longer being patched in your OS version you are running a huge risk.
