That's more a case of Microsoft dropping support for w2k which of course 
we can do nothing about, however I can't find anything which suggests 
it's not easy to download SP4.

It doesn't even try to check if you have a genuine copy of windows, 
which most microsoft downloads do. But, in any case, even if they do 
remove the download..

Can we get some demographics from LL outlining a) the number of w2k 
users, and b) the number of w2k SP4 users?

Also, SP4 had some major security fixes, anybody who is not using SP4 on 
an internet-connected machine is a little insane..
