FWIW, I have a legitimate personal copy of Windows 2000. The upgrade
cost about the same as a Windows 9x upgrade. I can’t remember at this
point in time if it allowed an upgrade from 9x: I upgraded from a
student version of Windows NT.
I’ve still got a virtual machine around running Windows 2000, although
it’s ages since I booted it. (Don’t worry: when Windows 2000 went EOL, I
removed the virtual network card, so it’s now standalone).
James.
