Win2k and XP are fairly stable because they where built off the NT kernel.

Win98 was just a patch release of Win95 and WinME was MS's effort to make some money to fight the monoply lawsuits.

XP Pro is the best, it is the fastest before the Service Pack too! LOL this is somehting that they plan on changin when longhorn becomes available. They say, security is the priority and that they will make sure patches wont make the computer slower. If you reinstall XP and do not use any updates, you will notice the difference in speed.

I use Xp on my desktops and 2000 on my laptop.

Personally i think 2000 was the most stable OS - As I had virtually no problems with it.

But - all the built in stuff that windows does for you in XP makes computing alot easier.

I agree Apple is way better I have 2 of them for school but I play alot of PC games and for that you need windows. I also use Linux (boot cd) on my Laptop so that I can hack hotspots. Then I have a machine that runs Red Hat or Knoppix.
