Question Really? which is better? Win XP or Win 2k?

The question at hand may seem simple to some ... but I have mixed feelings and I want some good reasoning. Which is better? Win 2000 or Win XP? Maybe a few reasons would be nice also.
Thanx.

Xp faster, less Blue screens, unzip, pic preview, latest drivers, remote deskop connection, theres a wizard for everything. "that should b a con" you can bridge network connections, getway, firewall,

2000 slow login, stable, need drivers often, need to update dailey,

i've tested with serveral computers with vary speed of cpu. it depends on the CPU speed. like 600Mhz doesn't do good with Win XP.

you can turn off all performance to make xp a little faster. XP has very less or none (haven't seen crash for 2 years) crash than 2000, 98, ME.

2k vs. xp

depends on your system, i have both on a triple boot with 98
windows 2000 is by far not as good as xp, xp supports so much more media capibilities for one,more stable,faster because 2000 will only run a ide hard drive at ultra 66 dma, dont believe me read microsofts site, if you have a older system, 2000 is great. i wont run xp on less than a 750 meg cpu, alot say it works fine, just wont. dont install cd burning software on xp untill you disable it's onboard (roxio) cd soft start/run/msconfig/services
do a clean install of either to get the full effect of either, and use the ntfs, for the stability it boast, fat32 makes it just as bad as 98 or ME.
