Microsoft has decided that those using Windows 2000 will no longer get updates to Internet Explorer SP1:

Yeah right,
They also said " No more standalone IE" and "No more windows 98 updates" but they changed their mind later.
Besides there are better browsers out there anyway. Try some Mozilla or Firefox. Once you get used to tabbed browsing it is hard to get along without it.

Thirded!

BTW according to Homeland Security it's unAmerican to use IE.
