VM2 is the third VM in CollabVM. The VM currently runs Microsoft Windows XP Professional x86 Service Pack 3, and contains all of the Windows XP updates, including POSReady's, up to 2019. It also comes with One Core API which allows some newer programs to run.

The VM contains several preinstalled programs, including Visual Studio 6.0 (Visual Basic and Visual C++ 6), Embarcadero Dev-C++ 6.3, Mypal68 (a variant of Mypal (a fork of Mozilla Firefox 68) for Windows XP), Chromium 100, the Microsoft Plus! pack, and several custom themes from the Integral Edition. Along with the other Windows VMs (except VM 0b0t), the user has a disk quota set to be able to use only 15 GB of space, and the VM really has 50 GB of space, the second-lowest (taking true space into account) of any other VM, just surpassing VM8. The VM has the theme set by default as the Royale theme. It has 2 GB of RAM and comes with a QXL graphics card, allowing it to run some basic 2D applications.

VM2 and VM1 are the only VMs on the site that have never changed operating systems, and it's the only VM on the site that has kept the exact operating system (in VM1's case, it switched from Tiny7 to full Windows 7).
