I'm probably going to install 2k on a box soon. Mostly because I'll
need something a bit more stable than 98 has gotten with all my apps

Well, the trick is, they won't guarantee it to run ok with an OS other
than the type AND VERSION it ships with. 

So if it ever needs repairs, you'll get it back with the factory OS.
