Windows XP's emulation layer can do 95, 98, NT4, and 2000.

I've used it to run Visio 2002, which actually has issues with 2000, flawlessly in XP Pro.

2000 has a few DLL issues, and Service Pack 3 fixes the emulation layer for a few apps, namely Office 97 (which works flawlessly in XP). It does run faster and better than 2000's, which needed 3 patches to work right. It's also much better at running Win 9x apps than 2000 is.
