There is a decent comparison here if you did not happen to see it yet...

I have used both. To be honest...I would just stick with windows 2000. XP has a clumsy interface and too many bugs. Although I do like some of the new features such as being able to switch users without closing down any programs that maybe running, overall windows 2000 is a better buy (in my option)

go with pro... home ed is stripped down and not worth it. it is a bit different and takes time to get use to but i have some friends that have been using xp since early betas and it kicks the pants off 2000 in terms of stability...

2000 is unstable?!?!? I've been using 2000 pro since august and not a single freeze or bluescreen.

XP's internal pipes are slower than Win2k, and a LOT slower than Linux... (Friend of mine that works for microsoft told me that)
