Personally, having grown up with geo, dos, win3.1, 3.11, 98, ME, 2000, and now have a machine with XP on it, I much prefer Win2000. I have it on two of my machines, both with slightly slower cpu's, and less memory than my third with XP Home. The two older machines far outperform the one with XP. Seems like the XP system eats up much more of the available RAM, slowing it down considerably. If all you do is cruise the web, email, play the occasional older game, 2K is the only way to go.
