Ive never heard of anyone that was happy with ME. But ive never used it myself, so thats hearsay.

2k is supposedly stable, but its not a gaming OS. Its the Nt kernel, not the 9x, so its more for business apps.

XP is the NT kernel with games support added on, making it the best OS at the moment.

XPpro is better than XPhome, but the major differences are only important for business or networks, so there is no real advantage. Get XPpro if possible, since you might one day connect to a network or something, but XPhome will be more than adequate.
