I haven't bought Win2K for a couple years now. The last time I did I found
a "surplus" software store online that had legitimate OEM packages. I think
I bought (5) more licenses at the time for about $100 ea.

Before that I bought Win2K OEM from Newegg.com but it is a long time since
they've carried it. I guess I started thinking about this and planning
ahead when one of my colleagues was refused authentication by Microsoft on
a re-install of WinXP in the middle of a big software project. The reason
they refused him was he changed motherboards and MS said "new motherboard,
new computer -- buy another copy". That made me mad and forever turned me
off to Windows authentication. Considering that I build my own systems and
change motherboards and other hardware periodically I didn't want the same
thing happening to me in the middle of a hot project.
