If you're going to be using older peripherals (scanners, older modems, etc) beware. Make sure that their drivers can be supported by XP first, otherwise you'll be spending a lot more money than you'd planned.

I just switched my home pc from W2K to XP Pro and I love it. The XP interface is customizable so you can get rid of some of the interface enhancements if they slow you down. Plus the Pro version isn't as "dumbed-down" as the Home version I've heard.
I'm going to switch my work pc to XP Pro as soon as I get settled in at home so it'll be a smooth transition.

Also XP is based on the same Kernel as 2000 but has a more interesting user interface and the restore feature. Which is a saving grace for those of us that like to mess around with our OS a little too much.
