Cleavis,

XP is the replacement for 2000 so go for the newer version. It has been out
for quite awhile, "patched" extensively already and will get more support
than 2000. Recently upgraded from 2000 to XP on my main machine and
everything seems fine. XP has been running on my wife's machine for 18
months or so and has been very stable.

Which ever one you install, make sure you go to Windows Update to get
everything up to date.
