I'm saddened that a lot of work is done for Blender to work on BSD,
Linux, MAC and XP but in the process you developers left us Windows 2000 users
out in the cold.
we cannot help it that we cannot build for win2k. Blender's internals are not compatible with the win2k system
There is NOTHING WRONG with Windows 2000 and conceivably there's not anything you can't do on XP that can't be done on Windows 2000.
You Couldn't be furthur from the truth, comparing win2k and XP is like comparing apples and oranges, they are vastly different internally, win2k is 16bit OS winXP in 32Bit, with different calls to different systems, may seem the same on the surface but underneith where we work, is 2 different worlds. Hence support for win2k was dropped
Blender is suppose to be open and free and with this one snafu, Blender is no longer open and free.
yes blender is still free and open, but the doesn’t mean we are obliged to cater for everyone, the source is available, you are more then welcome to get your own builds going, and there is a whole community that could lend a hand
I nor others can run a 2.58 build on our systems because of this upgrade.
Please build a Windows 2000 Optimized 32 bit. Thanks.
No we will not. we will not be abused or insulted to be you or any one's slaves we are people, volunteers, thank your lucky stars and be grateful that blender even exists
