Yeah, if you invest countless hours, you can get XP to look just like 2000. But, in considering taking this route, I thought, "Are the 'advancements' in XP worth me wasting tons of time to make it work like 2000?" Realizing that I'd asked this question before when considering upgrading from Win98 to WinME, I used the same resolution I had back then. "The features offered by XP (and ME) are only fluf that I have no need for. I don't care about Media Player 9, I don't care about 138 gig HDD support (which 2k can't do), I don't care about an obnoxiously customized Start Menu, I don't care about stupid extra features here and there."
