In preparation for the upcoming release of Mists of Pandaria, updates to World of Warcraft will no longer support Microsoft Windows 2000. Microsoft ceased support for this version of their operating system in 2010. Players still using Windows 2000 are encouraged to upgrade prior to the release of Mists of Pandaria.

It was actually a pretty good operating system, all things considered. It was very stable and performed well. Only problem though was it was NT based and driver support and user friendliness was not the greatest if I remember correctly. Interesting to see how old WoW is by this announcement.
*Note: Above is not meant as a slight against WoW. It is awesome that the game looks/runs so great after so long.

Many people I know used 2k as their workstation over Windows 98 mostly due to the fact that you could hit ESC to login...

And Windows 7 blows the doors off XP and then some.
All preview information hints that Windows 8 is even better (yes, you can turn off the Metro Display).

One thing I hate about Window 7 and haven't been able to figure out how to change is when I have multiple documents open, they stack on top of each each on the task bar instead of spreading out on the task bar like they did in Vista.If that makes any sense.

WoW is compatible with Windows 2000, Blizzard is just ending support for the OS. So, if you have a problem installing or running the game on Win 2k, Blizz won't be able to help you solve your problem anymore. My guess is that it should run fine on the OS for the foreseeable future though.

Agreed.
I would add NT 3.51. Not sexy by any means, but a workhorse OS. (Or : NT4, but that was really just 3.51 with the Win95 eye candy).

Yeah XP was throttling my PC heavily, didn't realize it until switching over.
I imagine on old hardware there would be minimal difference in performance.

Yeah, its definitely time for me to build a new machine with 7 pro. I just haven't found a game yet that I want to play that requires me to update so I've been putting it off. My current graphics card/processor runs WoW at max settings and that is the last PC game I played.
I tried Skyrim on PS3 and it bored me to tears so no reason to upgrade PC to play on that.
SWTOR not looking very promising either.
Damn the gaming industry needs to come up with something that does not suck for change.

I used Win2k over 98/98SE/ME at the time. It was the first version of NT to have true DX 3D, Windows NT 4.0 had some of the lower versions, but you could run games in Win2k. The drivers out of the gate were sparse, but it got up to speed after a year or so. Windows XP was better and I believe they could share drivers, similar to Vista/Win 7.
IMHO, Windows 7 is the best product MS has ever made.

Nope. If you have ever used a tablet, OneNote 2010 is the best product from Redmond, especially if you tie it with the rest of Office. If Microsoft and the manufacturers had been a bit smarter about marketing tablet systems ( think convertables ) Ipad would not be what it is today with business and students.
