IE 7, which will be available in beta this summer, will not be available to users of Windows 2000. Asa Dotzler, the community coordinator at the Mozilla Foundation, said Tuesday that he hopes to attract many corporate Windows 2000 users to the Firefox browser, since they will be unable to take advantage of the improvements in IE 7.

"We have high hopes that we'll do better and better in (the enterprise) space with Windows 2000 users," Dotzler said. "We're excited about Microsoft launching IE 7--it will remind a lot of people that if they want better features they have to spend hundreds of dollars upgrading" to Windows XP.

Nearly half of all Windows-based business desktops are still using Windows 2000, according to a recent survey by AssetMetrix, meaning that there is a big market for the Mozilla Foundation to tap into.

Yeah I saw that but was too damn busy so good work Joe!!

MS have really screwed it up this time. Looks like business consumers will be plumping for FF all over the place - MS really are idiots...
 
hm. First they planed to release the 7 only with longhorn... Then they decided to release it with XP and later ? lets wait a bit and see what the future brings.
 
MS can never get their shit together anyway.

the only reason i used I.E is because it looked good, and everything was easy to find, but if they both look the same...i mightaswell use firefox....
