Greetings --
Who told you Win2K was no longer available for purchase? I order
machines With an OEM Win2K installation on a weekly basis.
Some WinXP Pro licenses, such as OEM or open/Select Volume
Licensing (One must read the specific EULA for verification), do
provide for downgrading of the license to an earlier version of
Windows, but there is still no way to downgrade the installed
operating system, short of formatting and performing a clean
installation. In order to do this, one must have a valid installation
CD and Product Key for the target OS.
