That appears to be an old page. The current version of Seamonkey does 
NOT work on w2k.

As I expected, the changes (that make the new version incompatible with 
w2k) are in the Gecko browser engine so would apply to any browser using it.

I just tried it to verify this. Seamonkey (latest version) puts up an 
error message saying it requires at least XP SP2. The last version of 
Seamonkey that supports w2k is from same time as the last version of 
Firefox that supports w2k.
