I switched to XP fairly early on (OK - I got it the day it came out after playing with it in beta at work) and never really had any problems with it. Apart from needing to tweak the interface to look a little better. Can't remember now what I thought of 2000. 95 was OK for what it was (NT4 was better ), 98 was so-so and ME was dire.

Bottom line... animals do the strangest things. That said, if you have XP on an existing machine you might as well stick with it. However, if you are buying a new machine get Windows 7 (or even better, get a Mac).
