I see that Harry gave you some links. I'll throw in an opinion.
First of all, realize that the two are very similar. Under the
hood, Windows 2000 is Windows NT 5.0, and XP is NT 5.1. So XP is
a relatively minor update to 2000.
If you already have 2000, and are contemplating moving to XP, the
right answer for many people is that it's not worth the cost. But
if you're planning on buying a new computer and asking what
version to install on it, to me the answer is clearly XP. XP has
the following relatively small but significant advantages over
2000:
Msconfig
System Restore
Driver Rollback
Better Help System
Better Virtual Memory Handling

The versioning from 5.0 to 5.1 belies the differences.
