According to netmarketshare windows 2000 only has a 0.39% market share of all operating systems on PC's (PC's extending further than what I would classify as a PC, but whatever...), it's probably not worth worrying too much about.

More importantly, amongst GAMERS (based on Steam hardware survey Sept. 2010) the market share of Win2000 *and* earlier versions is less than 0.12%.

Seriously? About 1/3 of Windows 2000 users are gamers? That's actually a lot more than I had expected... especially since there is such a small amount of people who use Windows 2000...

Not necessaraily, they two surveys are based on different sample populations and almost certainly different sample sizes which may skew the data in one direction or another. You would need to know the hard numbers behind the percentages to make any sort of guess as to the proportion of <INSERT OS HERE> users who are gamers.

A lot of those Win2000 / Norton gamers are probably teens who have installed Steam on their parents clunky old machine which they have not managed to pursuade them to upgrade from.
