![]() ![]() I kinda feel sad that dropping Opera support on Win2k was a tough decision for them. 1% of users still use that OS and sadly vendor support is fading infact, almost all vendors have dropped support for that OS and it has became increasingly difficult, if not impossible for the team to continue to maintain Opera support for Opera. Only 2.2% of users still use Opera and the developers biggest reasons why Win2k support is being dropped is not only that OS hasn't been supported for almost two years, but now less than. Opera's only advantage over Firefox is that it's faster (especially the fact that the UI is responsive even when many pages are being loaded which is a problem in Fx) but there are just too many other flaws. ![]() ![]() I always used Opera but recently have almost switched to Firefox as it's just much more stable, offers a lot of more functions and customisation, there are many more useful extensions available, etc. Opera has never been known for its stability (it used to crash on javascript / Flash a lot) but the current situation is just terrible. Well, frankly speaking, this is only my opinion but Opera for desktop seems to be almost dead anyway The only (really, not so called) stable version of Opera is 11.64 while the whole 12.xx series is extremely buggy. In that case, Opera 12.50 will not support Win2k, Windows XP without SP2 or Windows Server 2003 RTM anymore. ![]() We don't know if Opera 12.50 will also discontinue support for older hardware such as the Pentium III or the AMD Athlon XP too. GetUserGeoID is present starting with Windows XP SP2. With Opera dropping Win2k support and Firefox 10 ESR coming to a end after 2012, there will be no supported browser that will work on Win2k anymore. There will eventually be a Opera 12.1x and it's obvious that Opera will continue to support Win2k until the end of this year. Starting in Opera 13, it's obvious that the support code for Windows 2000 will get removed for sure. What dependencies will Opera use that do not exist either in Opera 12.50? Has Opera stated that Windows 2000 (and older versions of Windows XP) will no longer be officially supported in Opera 12.50?Ģ. So last version of Opera to support Win2000 is Opera 12.00 (or 12.01 if ever that one comes out).ġ. Opera has ended support for Win2000 starting with Opera 12.50 snapshot build 1513. The latter builds of Flash Player 10.3 (10.3.183.15 and greater) won't install nor run under Win2000 w/out KernelEx for Win2000 or KDW / FCWIN2k.įlash Player versions 10.3.183.11 and earlier can install and run on Win2k without the need for unofficial kernel32 for Win2000. Both IE6 and Firefox Nightly use 10.2 properly.įlash Player 10.3 (ActiveX and plugin versions) both work perfectly fine on 2000. "The Adobe Flash Player 10.2 no longer supports Microsoft Windows 2000"īoth the IE and non-IE version install fine, but throw an exception at the end. ![]()
