There really is no really good reason to do it. Windows 2000 and Windows XP are unbelievably similar in that they run the same performance wise and are equally stable. Windows Xp does have more features though. These include, Internet Games, Easier to Use Start Menu, and also CD burning integration. XP also includes the Luna scheme that makes Windows just look "pretty." (Thats the Blue windows and the green start button). Windows XP also doesn't include Java Virtual Machine which is used on many websites. Luckily, you can go to Java.com and download Sun Java. (Sun Java created Java so they know their stuff) It's really up to you. If you want the features I've mentioned, then go for it. If you dont care about those small improvements, then dont. If you really want to know, I upgraded my Windows 2000 Pro to Windows XP Pro about a month ago. It doesn't matter to me which one I use.

XP has compatibility modes that are more resilient than 2000. While 2000 is a very robust and secure operating system, it really wasn't built for the home user. XP uses the best aspects of 2000, and basically added "colors." As XP was defined for the home market, it has far better "user-friendly" additions. Both are great for work, but XP is quite a bit better at play.
