he endless adds to sign on to Passport and Hotmail every time I turn on my computer
hmm, I run XP pro, never had a hotmail "add", never had a passport "add" nor ad, and never had any product activation, unless you are refering to cd-keys for individual products. If you are using Win2k as a gaming platform, you've got your own issues.
