Seems the upcoming IE 7 won't support Win 2000:

The article I read said it needed XP SP2 to support IE 7. I kind of hope they (MS) relent. After all Windows 2000 is still a supported OS, and still in some considerable use. Also, the only software I see that won't run on less than XP is Clear Type. There are versions of everything else for Windows 2000. MS may face more uprisings on this issue - we'll see.

Doesn't MSFT support for Win2000 expire sometime soon anyway. Maybe the IE guys know this and are just planing on supporting the offically supported OSes when IE 7 ships to production. The summer timeline for IE 7 is just for the beta.
