re: Upgrade IE6 to IE8 Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 9:29 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6793 messages posted) There are changes in IE 7 and later that are not compatible with W2K so installing it is blocked. Parts of the core of W2K would need to be updated and that isn't going to happen. In fact, IE7 for instance, won't install on anything less than Win XP SP2. It wouldn't function correctly even if it did install on W2K. Your only choice is installing another browser that will work with W2K SP4 on the sites that will require something higher than IE6. I will have to go to another browser when forced too, so you aren't alone. Google will also stop supporting IE 6 for mail etc. In time, searching with Google will not work correctly either, which has already started happening..
