No, I like XP much more than Windows 2000. But I will be swapping to 
MacOS X as my primary OS - now that the machines can do Bootcamp and 
VMWare are going to (may have already, haven't checked) a MacOS version 
which will allow me to run XP and Vista in them, I'm moving to that 
platform as my platform of choice. I'll be focusing my development 
around Delphi 2007, Adobe Air/Flex, PHP and Ruby on Rails primarily 
(notice no Java - Java only for maintenance purposes).

I am running Vista Home Premium as my MCE box and it works well enough, 
it is a platform that I have decided to move to as that is where all the 
future development is taking place for MCE, if I chose to build plugins 
to it (I have just installed TvTonic) then I am going to have to use 
.NET, but I am hoping to avoid having to do that :-)
