We still have MSDN archives at work from circa the Windows95 days until when they stopped shipping DVDs, if ever. I guess you have the infamous Windows 2000 AXP betas, they're in there somewhere. Of course I'm not really supposed to be in the office these days...

I also have taken care of most of the MSDN stuff, when the boss threw it out when our office moved ~2011. And I think I found a Win2000 beta iso in some abandonware place. But we should really compare what we have and make sure everybody has access to it when live resumes after corona.

GIT is plain C code, isn't it? Surely that should be doable?

Compiling that on a Windows version released ten years prior to the first appearence of git on Linux does not bode well on that. You'd probably have to start with porting the GNU toolchain to that system, and then still fix a lot of stuff because NT4 misses some features (IPV6 comes to mind here).

I had good results with Perl (5.6.2), and on top of that with OpenSSL (1.0.2u), but they both supported VC6 out of the box, more or less. I will give OpenSSL 1.1.1f a try over the weekend, would be cool to have the webserver serve its static pages with TLS 1.3... 

Over here 'traditional' crime seems to be down. Hard to pickpocket the few remaining people on the streets from 1.5m distance, or burglar a house when everybody is at home. Of course we have online fraudsters selling non-existing masks etc.

Pretty much the same here. Plus, I guess the long-standing german tradition of instantly reporting every suspicios person didn't help those burglars, either. Normally I despise of this "block warden" behaviour, but I think in times like these it comes in handy. :-/
