I use 2K Pro on my lap top and XP Pro at home. I MUCH prefer XP. It is as stable, if not more stable, than W2K and I like the XP UI much better.

But I get the feeling that what's 'under the hood' isn't quite as strong. Overall UI seems sluggish by comparison, and I've had many more lockups. I've also had instances where things like Outlook and Office XP seem to 'freeze up' for about 15-20 seconds, and then start running again.
