        If a user has windows 2000 without the supported service pack, there will be a warning message as follows:

        This Java(TM) Platform does not support the operating system on this machine. The operating systems that this Java(TM) Platform supports are:\n\n Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5 or later\nWindows 2000 with Service Pack 2 or later\nWindows 98\nWindows ME\nWindows XP\n\n

        We should change it to be a less strong/more elegant message for consumers, somewhat like the following:

        "For Windows 2000, Java runs best with Service Pack 2 or later."
