Because you can run it on 2100 computer at 138 locations doesn't mean
windoze2k is a good operating system.
It all depends on the applications that run on it too, and as you said some
applications don't run under it. And thats very important for many people
who use old software.
An IBMer told me that win2k is officialy banned from IBM sites, since it
breaks existing applications and systems, one example is that you can't
use many boot managers with win2k because win2k on bootup will remove
them, that happens with IBM's BootManager and some versions of SystemCommander
and others. (i think there is a fixed version of SystemCommander)
