What the hell can I do with Windows2000?

I've been a Unix weenie since 1986, but just for giggles the other day, I installed Windows2000 on a machine at home. I don't intend to do anything serious with it-- it's absolutely a toy machine for a toy operating system.

Specs: 1.6GHz non-HTable P4, 512MB SDRAM, GeForce FX 5200 w/ 128MB vram.

I've got the 'Dawn' demo already, but what else can I do with the thing? It's not worth spending money on, and I don't bother with warez games. Suggestions?

toy operating system
And you are a toy Unix hippy for thinking that.

what else can I do with the thing?
You'll want to start with a powerful command line and a good set of utilities. Get textutils, binutils, etc. compiled for Win32 (not necessarily Cygwin, but the Cygwin version is ok too), then get MinGW and the configure environment MSYS (again you can get the Cygwin version of GCC and all but it's not necessary), then install Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Apache, MySQL, and start toying and let's see if you can notice what's good about WinNT.

2k isn't even that great for games
Because it doesn't have gay colorful themes? Win2K shares the same core with WinXP, only it has less bloat. Games actually run faster and I have yet to see any game that's dependent on the very few, secondary new NT API functions added to WinXP.
