    Personally I think this is a bad idea, and I'll make sure Microsoft is aware of that opinion when I'm on the phone with there developers this week. Maybe I'll get some better insight into why they made that decision.

    indeed. I don't think many people realize 2000 is basically a legacy product at this point. Hotfix and warranty support ends july 1st 2005.
