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.

i recommend windows 2003. it's stable, fast (faster than xp) and very secure (at least more secure than xp). i run it for a year now and it works flawlessly (as a windows can get) with all games, apps and stuff.

ANONYMOUS' CHOICE.

quick note: never install (any) windows without stripping useless stuff out of the installation. use something like nlite to create a nice windows-cd with the stuff you need.
