Graham,

This is quite interesting indeed. I can only speak from my experience, but having used Windows XP (SP2) and Windows 2000 in the past and present, there is no way I would ever want to use Windows 2000 ever again . . . For me, ClearType, availability of drivers (or built-in drivers), stability (I used to get more BOD with Windows 2000 are a few reasons why I would prefer XP over 2000. However, as you suggested, everyone’s mileage may vary, and people may not know the advantages unless they have experience in using XP.

This is not to suggest that XP is the best OS available out there. As a matter of fact, Vista is neither, but upgrading software/hardware seems to be a fact of life these days.
