I was looking around, and cannot find anything with that to windows 2000 professional, so I would say that you are out of look. As for windows xp home, I have had problems with it, and in my opinion it is the newest windows me; but windows xp pro has been working descently so far. If you are only playing games, and doing some generic office applications, you shouldn't have any problems with windows xp pro.

And since this thread is titled "M$ xp cracked" haha, there is also a corporate version available of the operating system that needs not to be registered.

So that it appears are your only options. Windows xp pro, or 200 without sound .
