You can either install win2k to a different partition or install and run VMWare.

VMWare works great for interactive applications like a word processor. Get the free trial, it's very easy to use. Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 is about as good (a little less tweakable) but works better than VMWare if you have less than 768 MB of RAM since it gives more of your RAM to the virtual / emulated PC.

Both are painfully slow for what we wanted though, running a virtual W2K server and the WebCT course management system on top of apache webserver.

my vote goes to the vmware workstation. after you install the os, you can install vmware tools on the client OS. the tools allow the client to have highers resolutions & color depths, in addition to hardware graphics acceleration. it's even nice that i boot up server 2003, bump it to 1600x1200 and alt+enter to full screen.. plus, if you fark somethign up, all you have to do is reinstall the image, no worrying about all your files
