Udates for W2K?

I'm going to reformat and re-install W2K on a computer for a friend with limited funds. He can't afford XP so he's sticking with W2K. I understand MS no longer supports W2K, so is there some other site you can download security updates, ect, from? TIA

Thanks G,
I've never played around with Linux and I'm not sure how it works or whether his kids could operate it OK.
