Why Windows 2000? Is that suddenly free or something or is it just fast enough to run in JS emulation?
There's a small industry targeting this kind-of thing but its a hosted remote desktop targeted at high value online banking users.. for example BankVault: https://www.bankvaultonline.com/ https://www.bankvaultonline.com/
This could potentially be some kind of alternative idea I guess.

My speculation: 1) NT 3.51 or 4.0 would be faster, but significantly less compatible with any remotely modern software. 2) XP is significantly heavier while only being marginally more capable. 3) 95/98/ME is a horrifying amalgam of DOS and Windows code, which presumably makes demands on the completeness and accuracy of the x86 emulation.
