Does anyone know if there is any planned support for .NET 3.0 on windows
2000?

It seems like a major miscalculation not to support win2K - there is still a
huge install base, and it will be a while before there are enough 3.0
applications to make it compelling to switch to a later OS - in the meantime
adoption is likely to be slower because of the lack of support. We are in
the process of determining an archiceture for a major new project, and it
looks like we will have to use WSE 3.0 instead of WCF (and .NET 3.0), which
is VERY frustrating.

Another question - any idea why it is is not supported?

..Net 3.0 is only supported on operating systems from this century.
