I'm running WinXP Pro with VS .net and am having no problems what so ever. The only problem I had was installing the 64 bit drivers for my video card, then realising what I had done :( (I don't have a 64 bit processor).
Oh well, that wasn't Windows XP's fault anywho.

Quite a few programs work perfectly even after having the registry wiped. Neat trick with Windows 2000 is to backup your user profile, delete and reinstall windows, then copy your backed up profile OVER the new one... you get to keep all your settings, and the registry is intact!
