I agree that W2k is great to have around. It runs all but he most recent 
bloatware and doesn't need to contact the mothership to come to life.

Most of my real-world machines are running XP, but for engineering 
set-ups 2K is my fav. I have a few drives set up with w2k that I swap 
into a notebook for clean, simple engineering environments. One of them 
runs some softwware I obtained that had a time limit, so when I put that 
drive in, I need to remember to set the clock back to year 2000 so I can 
run the tools. See, a time reference in this post.
