Here is the the reall answer which Win is Better XP or 2000:

That is Beautiful.
I'm with Milen on this one. XP is a resource hog. Even when you turn off all of the crap, it's still got a lot of overhead.
I prefer WIn2k as it is extremely reliable. I have not rebooted my machine at home in 9 months. try that with XP.
The main inhancement the XP offers is the "Firewall" and that was a joke. SP2 gives a new one that works, but who is going to use it?
The only real trouble with holding onto Win2k is that the support for this OS will not last much longer. I suspect I will be moving to XP sooner or later, but by then, I will have found ways to make the OS work for me...
