You should be OK. Why don't you try it and see what happens?

That's what I was wondering.

Here's a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of various Windows versions

http://www.en1heure.com/en/avantages_inconvenients_windows.php

XP is really 2000 with a fancy skin and fast user switching. 2000 is more stable, and it may be that for some purposes it is better.

There's a lot I could say about this, but, obviously, I'm not going to, except that it makes a refreshing change to hear of such a fine upstanding young man being prepared to actually pay for his copy of Windows!
