Could you build this?
No Backporting modern Chromium to run on Windows 2000 requires deep low-level systems programming, toolchain hacking, and reimplementing extensive modern Win32/NT APIs that Windows 2000 lacks.
What it would actually take: Building this requires expert C++ systems engineering, Windows NT internal kernel and API knowledge, and custom compiler toolchain support (e.g., Extended Kernel / wrapper DLLs). Modern Chromium relies heavily on DirectWrite, Vista+ thread pools, crypto primitives, and modern MSVC/Clang runtimes that do not exist on NT 5.0. Developers must either hook or write compatibility shim layers (like KernelEx) and maintain massive patches against Chromium's millions of lines of codebase.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
