If you turn off the extraneous things in XP (file indexing, UI effects,
auto-MSN messenger startup, etc), it seems a lot nicer than windows 2K.

Here's a few differences that are noticeable (YMMV based on
hardware/software):
- XP seems much more stable than 2K
- less mysterious memory blowups in XP compared to 2K
- faster application startup in XP
- *** fast-switch users - great for families/couples. you can switch out of
your session to login screen, and another user can log in. Your programs
keep running. You can switch between logged in users, without logging out.
- faster login in XP
- XP has driver verification and driver rollback.
- XP includes a defrag utility, unlike 2K.

However the XP licensing scheme isn't as easy to deal with.
