Server is really not the best option for a desktop computer. It will have more overhead that a desktop OS, and out of the box, it is configured to favor background services over user applications. You can tweak this by going to into your systme property, clicking advance, then clicking on performance. I can't recall exactly where the setting it, but you can configure it to favor user mode applications.
It is disheartening to here you guys bashing XP. If you dislike the 'flashy' interfaces, simply turn them all off. You can make an XP box look exactly like a 2000 machine. XP has some features that I would not want to live without, not the least of which is a remote desktop connection.
That being said, 2000 was (and is) a nice, simple, stable OS.
