Changelog
2017-09-10
- Added:
- Updates for Windows XP. The updates list is based on HFSLIP Information Site (archived 2014-07-04) and will be further updated with new updates released past that date. Only the newest versions of system components with their updates are listed, e.g. IE 8 instead of IE 6, or WMP 11 instead of WMP 9.
- European Union Expansion Font Update 1.02 (2000), European Union Expansion Font Update 1.02 (XP)
- Changed:
- .NET Framework 1.1 (2000), .NET Framework 1.1 (XP), .NET Framework 2.0, .NET Framework 3.5, .NET Framework 4.0. These unofficial addons are now marked as updated periodically with no fixed date next to their links. You should re-check the URLs from time to time to see if they have been updated.

- All updates are now initially sorted only by date.
- Windows XP/2003 updates applied to Windows 2000 updates no longer have Windows XP logo icons next to their links. They also cannot be hidden via the toggle buttons any more. These updates are now treated equally to regular Windows 2000 updates and are always required.

- Removed the whole Microsoft Update section. Windows 2000's lifecycle ended in July 2010 and Microsoft has not released any official updates through Windows Update since then. Thus, once all the available updates and hotfixes have been slipstreamed, WU itself is no longer required and can be safely disabled. 842773 and 890830 have been moved to Windows and Other lists respectively, while the other files have been completely removed.
