windows 2003

I'm looking to reformat my laptop and I need to decide between windows 2003 server, windows XP and windows 2000.  The laptop is a bit older and I want the best performance I can get from one of these three operating systems.  Thanks for your help and opinions 4chan.

Go for Windows 2000, unless you really can't get it to work with your hardware for some strange reason. Why? Because out of the good Windowses, it's the least bloated, thus the least resource wasting and the better performer. Besides, simpler systems are better. KISS.

Although, that's what people said about Win98SE when Win2k was the latest. If you have a decent amount of memory (256+MB), any of these will be fine so long as you don't install a crapload of idiotware on it.
