The United States, increasing quality by lowering standards since 1776.

Just to my 2 cents in here. There was never any downgrade from Windows2000. It was a Upgrade . Windows 2000 was able to be Upgraded to Windows XP Pro only. You could not use it to Upgrade to XP Home. Windows 2000 is Windows XP without the eye candy
