2K VS XP

Hi

I just got a new computer set up, now thinkin about which OS i should use

I personaly buy official Windows OS's,(because i'm too bamn lazy to go throught the tweakin and crackin stuff) and i currently have a official win 2K in hand.

Question: should i use 80 sth bucks on a XP Home OEM, or just stick with 2K?
(ultimitly, i'm gonna switch to vista when it's on the market.)

if you guys need my computer specs, just ask.

ive heard some games lock out non-XP releases out of laziness to test. i guess i'll try 2k3 on my next install, thanks.

nlite doesnt necessarily break things unless you do heavy trimming, but in my experience XP is barely stable and error-prone by default as-is, no need to make it moreso.
