I'm just not an XP fan ... There's been issues, friends have had issues .. Win2k seems pretty solid, and as long as you do the web server setup correctly, and have ZoneAlarm or similar running, it's safe against intrusion.
I'm of the school of "if it's not broke, don't fix it" and I have had solid luck with this setup. No worms, no viruses, no hacks. I just don't trust XP yet I guess.
