Any MS desktop OS prior to XP is out of scope.
I wouldn't call Windows 2000 antique but unsupported (unless you have an
extended contract with MS)
Rightly or wrongly but it's their OS.

And what's antique technology? Win98, Win2000
and XP SP1 all still work fine, and a lot of people are using
them (I read the other day that 1/4 of European business
PCs are running Win2000), but those versions are no longer
supported by MS. Are they all "antique technology"?

It will probably need the EU to step in again, like it did over the
Microsoft antitrust case.


You don't need the EU to step in. What you need is a decent OS to compete
with it.

You're going to tell me next that Microsoft has been competing on a
level playing field!
