Slipstreaming runtimes into Win2k

[brutus1234]

I found a couple of packages for windows2000 providing different runtimes and updates, they are the VisualBasic6sp6 runtimes, the updates for Common Controls and the VisualC2008sp1 runtimes.

My questions are:

1. are they still needed nowadays?
   
2. (if they are) can hfslip slipstream them into win2k?
