I think its wrong to call them greedy ******** in this particular case. RH7.3 is no longer supported by redhat, are they greedy? No, they want people to move on from old and outdated software*. If MS supported windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, windows server 2006, and windows 2008 do you really think they could continue to develop new software? Software development would be ground to a halt as they attempt to design updates and such they'd be bogged down trying to create other versions to run on the other systems. And the kicker is that even if microsoft supported them, the little guys developing all those nifty tools like ATITool, etc - wouldnt becuase they dont want to hassle with it and dont have the resources microsoft does.
No matter how much you love your win2k and no matter how great it is you have to move on sometime.
* Yes, win2k is old and outdated the same way RH7.3 is. The newer versions have better and more comprehesive features. "BUT BUT BUT they RUN slow!" thats right, it does run slower. Thats why hardware gets faster, to support the development of softwares new features. If you want the fastest possible OS, get something with a command line. "BUT, WHY NOT ADD ALL THE FEATURES OF VISTA TO WIN2k? THEN it will be fast!" no, no you see the new features are what slows an OS down, add those features to your beloved win2k, and you get vista. All slowdowns included.
