IE7 will be Windows XP only

From what it seems Microsoft is trying to phase out Windows 2000. We earlier presented news that included information that you will not be able to upgrade directly from Windows 2000 to Windows Vista and now it seems Internet Explorer 7 won’t come for the still very common and beloved operating system. IE7, which will arrive as a beta this summer, still MIA though, but as Windows XP only. Mozilla has made a short statement where they hope to gain more influence with the Windows 2000 users.
