    Read what Steven said first, then add this....

    No matter what the marketing people tell you,
    Win2000 is WinNT 5.0 and WinXP is just WinNT 5.1

    Generally, WinXP is 'incrementally' better than Win2000;
    your milage may vary with particular games or drivers but
    XP has been around long enough that most hardware worth
    having has a driver that works (if there's one for Win2000
    especially.)

    XP is particularly more aware of wireless issues than Win2000.

    BTW, Win2003 Server is just WinNT 5.2 <grin>
