I also have two Windows 2000 desktops for Office and other tools, so not entirely Mac user. It runs most programs I need of it and is the last Windows version without heavy telemetry or online activation, so I can install my single copy on as many computers or virtual machines as I want. Basically no bloat either.
Quite possibly the most "just works" operating system ever released.
I suppose, although I've never tried, you could use an old copy of Cygwin via the Cygwin Time Machine and install a 2015 copy of Wine onto it and even run modern Windows programs.
