When you visit these two pages:
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[LN];lifecycle>
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];LifeOfficeFam>
you'll find that "mainstream support" for Office 2000 ended this past
June. The remaining support is "extended support" until 30 June 2009,
under which the only updates that won't cost you money are ones
specifically related to security.
Since security patches are issued as soon as they're available and not
on a fixed schedule, that part of the question is hard to answer. If
you're just looking for bug fixes, though, the answer is that there
won't be any more general-availability updates of Office 2000, only
pay-per-incident hotfixes.
