Do any of the major printer makers have Win2000 drivers for their new machines? Even if the old OS computer only make up 5% of the market, they are still losing a decent amount of sales.



Get real the cost to develop and test drivers for extremely old O/S's 14
years old does not seem like a win for the companies.
Quite the opposite. You running something so old is your problem.

You keep an old system for reasons that are yours, but the manufacturers
only go back one or 2 releases at most.

Lets see you missed XP, Win2003(server), 2005 server 2008 server, Vista
(crap) and Win7 pretty good. Win 8 is out now..
Count how many versions you missed..
