XP Home is GARBAGE and you should stay away from it. Go with 2000 Pro over XP Home any day.

Not sure I agree about XP Home being garbage. Basically, XP Pro just offers some benefits the average home user wouldn't need. For 100 USD more, people need to consider the extra benefits of XP Pro. If you have some reason to say this, then please post...I'd be interested.
Beyond that, I'd have to tell people to move to XP (one or the other). M$ has dropped support on 2000 and according to the other I'Net forums I inhabit, most people say XP is more stable than 2000. And it usually takes some real convincing for people to let go of their 2000. I still use it at work and it's darn stable...just about as good as my XP at home.
I use XP and I use a few unusual pieces of software not to mention the various 3D apps I use and I have about 1 OS crash (in other words, BSOD or OS failure to the point of needing a reboot) about once every 3 months.
