I don't know if this will be of any importance, but I have seen several instances where windows 2000 is much more stable than NT4. Case in point, I was working for a defense contractor and we had 5 mail servers(exch. 5.5) and they notoriously went down. If we didn't reboot the servers once a week, they would go down. We took one of the lower tasked servers(500 users) and put it on windows 2000 and didn't have to reboot it for a month and it was still running like a champ.
