Choose Between Windows XP and Windows 2000?

How would I choose between Win XP and Win 2k if I want to upgrade? (Other than price)

I see that Microsoft's minimum/suggested system requirements for Win 2k Professional are substantially lower than for Win XP, either home or professional.

Is this because of all the fancy sound / picture manipulating software that comes with XP?

I really, really dislike the fact that MS has gone out of its way to make the human interface to XP different (and clumsier IMO) than that 9X. Win 2k sticks pretty closely to the 9x human interface.

I don't have much interest in the picture / sound features.

Opinions?

Thanks,
