Ummm... my school's CS department is still offering Win2k Pro to students. They just updated the group license about a month ago. So it's still being sold.

And as for no more support for the OS, I'm pretty sure that only means major updates. They will have to release security patches and such for some time to come (and in fact I just downloaded a security patch for 2kPro Last week that was dated around Nov 15). I could care less if they don't release any major updates, and don't blame them for not doing so, since they're already approaching their third generation OS removed from 2kPro.
