Chrome is not supported in Windows 2000

I was participating in a chrome dev forum and was shocked when I stumbled on this.
"Chrome will not be supported in Windows 2000".

If you sit back, relax and give it a thought, probably that's okay not to support Chrome in Windows 2000. There is hell a lot of difference between xp and 2000. There are lots of API which are supported in Windows xp but not in Windows 2000. Assume if we give support to chrome in windows 2000, there will be other platforms which will be affected by this. (The code might become bulkier and the complexity might increase).

So It's a good call by Google not to support Windows 2000.
