Its certainly not worse. But saying that, its better, is also debatable. After
tranforming to winxp, you lose some features you had, and gain some feature you
probably dont want.

I think winxp came a bit too soon, it should have given us more time to get
ready for it.

If you are asking about stability, i didnt see any differance over windows2k.
Mine didnt crash ever since I installed it.

Moving to winxp is just a matter of choice of having the latest ms OS installed.
Nothing More, Nothing Less, IMO.

Upgrading to windows2k from NT4 or Windows98/me is a big jump. But Upgrading to
winxp from windows2k, is like having SUSE over redhat.
