XP every step of the way.Im running 64 bit XP and its the stablest os ive ever used,32bit xp I used since its early release when drivers were rare but by far and away its the best imo there is (linux fanboys want my blood ;))

The answer depends on which version of XP you mean - I prefer W2000 over XP home, but prefer XP Professional over W2000.

Never used 2000 so I can't comment........XP64 is very nice though. :)

I find Windows XP Pro a lot faster, stabler and more efficient. Plus it looks nicer :)

I found Windows XP to be more stable than Windows 2000, but I guess that everyone will have differing opinions on this.

Me thinks an edit of the thread title might be in order ;)

I uesed to use Windows 2000, It proved stable, but did seem to take a while to load up. Windows XP Pro does seem faster.

XP will directly support a greater variety of hardware whilst not having drivers for some older hardware so that may or may not be an issue.

I suspect it depends on what you are running on your PC and whether XP will give you andy advantages or improved compatibility.

As stated before. I prefer 2k over XP Home, but I prefer XP Pro over 2000. :)

I prefer 2000 over Windows XP Home, but XP Pro over 2000. Nothing wrong with Windows 2000, still use it from time to time on the odd machine at work.
