I think we've been asked to phase out Win2000 in the FHCs. I think MS will stop issuing security patches for it next year. I'll have to check on that.

Extended support for Win2K ends in July 2010. MS information on this is available here.

I checked with Family History Center support. Windows 2000 is no longer supported.

Reference KB 102840. (Sorry, I don't know how to reference that on-line. But if you call FHC Support and ask for that KB, you'll get the same article that was read to me.)

Thanks for the information -- this is very helpful. It sounds like my FHC Director has not been passing some important information to the Stake Technology Specialist (me). But now I know some good questions to ask!
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

While you're at it, you may want to ask your Director to get you access to the Family History Online Guide. You won't find that bit of information, but you will find others - like the current computer policy. I think they have to arrange it with Family History Center Support.

*sigh* Did I just fork again?
