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.

Duh, download it on another machine (friend, college, library, internet cafe, etc), get one off a magazine coverdisc, use Knoppix or some other live CD. Christ, use a bit of imagination. And don't kid yourself that it's only Windows that is vulnerable if you don't run a firewall - ALL networks need protecting, it's just that Windows, being so widespread, having widely-known vulnerabilities and countless zombified virus-infected machines run by other idiots out there, is more at risk than anything else.
