Windows 2000 is a Windows NT based platform and regular windows applications designed for Windows 95 and 98 will usually not run on it. Windows XP is the blend of both the Windows NT and the 95/98/ME platform and will run software form either supported branches.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP are essentially the same operating system (known internally as Windows NT 5.0 and Windows NT 5.1, respectively.) Here are some considerations if you're trying to decide which version to use: Windows 2000 benefits 1. Windows 2000 has lower system requirements, and has a simpler interface (no "Styles" to mess with). 2. Windows 2000 is slightly less expensive, and has no product activation. 3. Windows 2000 has been out for a while, and most of the common problems and security holes have been uncovered and fixed. 4. Third-party software and hardware products that aren't yet XP-compatible may be compatible with Windows 2000; check the manufacturers of your devices and applications for XP support before you upgrade. Windows XP benefits 1. Windows XP is somewhat faster than Windows 2000, assuming you have a fast processor and tons of memory (although it will run fine with a 300Mhz Pentium II and 128MB of RAM). 2. The new Windows XP interface is more cheerful and colorful than earlier versions, although the less-cartoony "Classic" interface can still be used if desired. 3. Windows XP has more bells and whistles, such as the Windows Movie Maker, built-in CD writer support, the Internet Connection Firewall, and Remote Desktop Connection. 4. Windows XP has better support for games and comes with more games than Windows 2000. 5. Windows XP is the latest OS - if you don't upgrade now, you'll probably end up migrating to XP eventually anyway, and we mere mortals can only take so many OS upgrades. 6. Manufacturers of existing hardware and software products are more likely to add Windows XP compatibility now than Windows 2000 compatibility.

There are a few differences, for example XP has a more graphical based look to it whereas 2000 is more classic. The most important difference is that 2000 can be networked and XP must be the professional version not the home version in order to have this functionality. I think I would recommend XP over 2000 because it has some extra features for media (ie music, video, gaming) that 2000 does not have and is generally easier for the non-technical user to navigate.

Windows XP Professional offers a number of features unavailable in the Home Edition, including:
the ability to become part of a Windows Server domain — a group of computers that are remotely managed by one or more central servers (many businesses that use Windows have a Windows Server and a domain)
the use of a sophisticated access control scheme that allows specific permissions on files to be granted to specific users under normal circumstances. However, users can use tools other than Windows Explorer (like cacls or File Manager), or restart to Safe Mode to modify access control lists.
the Remote Desktop server, which allows a PC be operated by another Windows XP user over a local area network or the Internet
offline Files and Folders, which allow the PC to automatically store a copy of files from another networked computer and work with them while disconnected from the network
the Encrypting File System, which encrypts files stored on the computer's hard drive so they cannot be read by another user, even with physical access to the storage medium
centralized administration features, including Group Policies, Automatic Software Installation and Maintenance, Roaming User Profiles, and Remote Installation Service (RIS)
support for two physical central processing units (CPU). The number of CPU cores and Hyper-threading capabilities on modern CPUs are considered to be part of a single physical processor.[

the platform for win xp was win 2000. to make the story short win xp is an improved version of win2000 with a touch of win 98/95. the same would be true for the upcoming vista. it would be an improved win xp.

Win2k is based on WinNT and is far more secure than WinXP.
However winXP is far more useful at home with easy to use connectivity.
