IE 8 is the new IE 6

The best way to help is to port Chrome to Windows 2000.

Firefox is too slow to be usable on most Windows 2000 boxes, IE newer than 6 isn't supported, and Chrome isn't supported, which makes IE6 the best option.

Windows 2000 doesn't appear to have any significant market share.

Much higher that win98. I wonder if my 12yr old daughters machine is the last win98 machine on the internet?

Who uses IE6 on XP? Pirated copies of XP? That's bizarre.

I know I had to do some voodoo to make a website we setup work right for a client because all of their internal windows computers were still running IE6

Chrome is hardly stable on pages with a ton of flash content ...

Boxes still on Win2k won't have much memory, and Chrome is really memory-hungry, so it isn't going to help.
