On further examination it might have been reasonable to do so ...

How can you possibly be running Win2K Pro on a 486? I don't know the
minimum CPU, but I think the minimum RAM is 64MB or more. I know that
you're below the minimum for WinME. Personally I wouldn't even want to
mess with WinNT4 on a 486. (Not that I would on any other machine, for
that matter ;) -- the point is, it will be unbearably slow.)

MS is *only* for people who buy and use newer machines. I can't believe
you are seriously considering a MS "solution" on a machine like that.
Absurd.
