Is SQL 7.0 obsolete yet?

Does anyone know what Microsoft plans are for SQL 7.0.
When will they stop selling it?
When will the Service Packs stop?
When will security upgrades stop?
When will they stop supporting it?
I need to justify the upgrade to SQL 2000 and need facts to support my
argument.
Thanks
