I do have a win2k laptop that needs to be "converted" as soon as I can buy a newer one for wifey. I'm doing it kind of piecemeal ATM, though :D I have installed an X server over the win2k installation, and cygwin, and bash, some other 'Nix like tools; I can occasionally *almost* feel at home now, but there is also a slightly 'out of place' feeling to the whole experience ... especially when you realize that you are running a windowing system over the top of another windowing system because you **know** that it is, technically, superior; sort of like "french kissing your sister" (which I *don't* know from experience, but it's an occasionally used comparison here in the US) ...
