I went to the Microsoft website, and it said that it infected alot of Windows 2000 systems as well. But for some reason, it said it didn't affect Windows Me or 98, but I thought Me was 2000. Oh well, just a question of curiosity.

Windows 2000 is the latest version of Windows NT. ME is Millennium Edition. ME is the latest in the series of Windows 95/98/98SE/98ME. They are not the same. Windows 2000 is mainly a networking operating system where as Windows ME is mainly a home user's operating system.
The next step will combine Windows 2000 and Windows ME into 1 operating system called Windows XP. From what I've been hearing from beta testers and the tech media, Windows XP ain’t all that great. Microsoft has stated that you will have to upgrade it every year or it will shut down. Of course, the upgrade isn't free. Windows XP isn't scheduled for release until October. The whole mandatory upgrade thing isn't going over too well. I hope it isn't part of the final version or I wont be getting it.
About the Code Red Worm. To avoid being affected by it, Windows NT/2000 users needed to apply a patch designed to fix a hole in security which the worm exploits. Looks like the word got around and most network managers applied the patch.
