I agree about Windows 2000, it was the pinnacle of Windows UI.

The font, buttons and how everything is spaced is just perfect. I wish we could have a minimalistic Windows, that have this UI.

Just x3, x4 integer scaling so it can display on modern screens.

No crapware included by default. And then you download software you need form the net, like browsers, mailclient, torrent client, games, or what ever you need.

No idea about the display scaling and included software, but SerenityOS has the same aesthetics IMO, could be worth checking out.

Does ReactOS tick the requirements? It is FOSS.

Surely, Windows 95 was the pinnacle. ;)
