spacesurfer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I don't understand why MS limits their software to certain OS's. I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to install IE7 on Win2000.So, I was curious if anyone as been able to install it on a Windows 2000 machine through some workabound.

prx984 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'd be very interested in this one myself actually. If anyone knows, please let us know (consider this a bump ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 In this case, IE7 uses functionality in the OS to provide features specific to browsing and security - since it would take a rearchitect of these components on a Windows 2000 machine or a Windows XP RTM or SP1 machine to make IE7 work, IE7 is XPSP2/W2K3SP1 and Vista/Longhorn only.Remember, once a product is out of mainstream support, products generally don't get released for that platform going forward.

RJARRRPCGP Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) It needs to be h4x0r3d! Of course it failed under Windows 2000, because Microsoft wants to screw Windows 2000 users! Edited May 9, 2007 by RJARRRPCGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
