Though it's in extended support, you get critical and security updates without
having to pay additional money.
I'm not trying to be cynical or to start a flame war, I'm just providing
accurate advice. Do I like running windows 2000 at this point in the game? No!
But sometimes you have to.
I still have VM's running very legacy software based on NT. Is that smart?
Hell no. But for a variety of reasons it's a must.
So, back to the original statement. He can install 2000 under VM and still get
security updates until 2010 (according to the link I included). This is a true
statement. Anything else is opinion.
