2000 is a good OS. XP is a good os. Linux are also good operating systems. However, for your average home user XP and 2000 are your best choices. Out of those I would agree XP is the better choice.
I use both Unix flavored OSs and windows. Bashing one over the other doesn't make sense to me since I flip flop back and forth.
