XP offers in comparison with W2k:
Forced activation
Built-in aggresive spyware called WGA
Barbie look that slows the interface down
Resource hogging
Ability to run a very lousy application that has managed to break every GUI guideline in existence - The CONNECT software

If your XP is legit, the activation is not an issue.
WGA is not spyware if your XP is legit.
The interface can be changed. I went back to the classic look (aka Win98) and I like it much better.
What I've done for resource hogging is to turn off a lot of the extra resources that I don't need. Works well that way. If you bother to look on the net, you can taylor XP so it works quite well.
