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.

256MB is not a very comfortable amount with XP, even with the irrelevant services turned off. I didn't like using XP until I finally added another 512MB.
Frankly, 2K is a better system for those of us who like less bloat. Other than ClearType and better language handling, I can't think of anything which I'd want that XP has and 2K doesn't.
Of course, someone is going to then say, "Well, strip down XP until it's like 2K!" First off, I did, and it still uses quite a bit more RAM. Second, if you're going to do that, why not use 2K in the first place?
