at first I was going to say no, or at least don't get on the internet with it, but after some reflexion, it seems the answer is more nuanced.

a lot of updated software will run on XP, but not on 2000, so you may have to find some older version of stuff.

security-wise, it's not patched anymore. this begs the question: does anyone make malware or exploits specifically targeting it anymore? XP exploit that don't work on patched XP might work on 2000.

at least use a firewall and some anti-virus (if you can find one that is current)

I run it in a vm at around 4ghz regularly. Offline of course.

There are a lot of servers using 2k era windows server.

Not sure if any modern applications really support it anymore

What servers are still using Windows 2k
>>
>>61599704
Yes. Windows 2000 is 200 times better than Windows 10.

>>61600287
At my old (software) company, a leader in its particular industry, almost every server was Windows Server 2008, and about 5% were Windows 2003. Not sure if that qualifies as 2k era but it's pretty damn old regardless.
