I have a QEmu VM here that works, and I was able to get a SAMBA shared folder as well. (Does the TestBot use SAMBA, or something else?)
The TestBot runs a very small and very basic win32 server process (TestAgentd.exe) that can be told to send, receive or run files. It's not using any fancy API so I expect it would work.

One issue is that we'll get whatever is on the CD and not any of the post-release fixes because Windows Update will not work (Microsoft's servers don't support the very old Windows versions).
Huh, I wasn't aware that Microsoft did OTA updates that early.
Iirc the Windows Update menu was firing up Internet Explorer and presumably it was all handled by some ActiveX module.
Do we have an idea of how much those updates matter?
I don't know.
