It's rather odd actually. For instance, I'm running Aida on my machine here as an example at the moment (I have Office 2000 on this one).
Right now I'm looking at Software --> Installed Programs...Nothing Office-realated. No Word, Excel, FrontPage, etc...But it's all there.
Then I go to Software --> Licenses...I see Macromediea, Adobe, etc....No Office whatsoever.
Pretty wierd eh?
This might seem stupid, but then again it took 50 years for someone to figure out a pen cap would open a lock. Have you tried running Windows Update on them? That lists what OS you have, and in particular, on any machine I've used with Windows, including Server 2003, it lists the exact OS.
Try windows Update, and if all patches are already installed, go to the Update history and see which patches were installed, and read through those and see if it lists which OS they were installed for. Might help.

If all else fails, make Windows fail ;)
There is a registry entry that you can use to force a blue stop screen on Windows 2000. First, backup your registry, then make the following change:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters
Name: CrashOnCtrlScroll
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1 (0 or nothing will disable the feature)
After a restart, holding down the right-side CTRL key and pressing the Scroll lock key twice will generate the Blue Screen of Death.
msinfo32
That Command may help you as well. Start > Run > msinfo32
This will also do that:
winmsd.exe

You may not have a problem. I took a look at my inventory under Aida32 and it only shows Office XP too. Never noticed it before... But then I know we had bought all the licenses we needed directly from Microsoft so I never really looked at the licensing too hard.
