I would probably go with Windows 2000. One of my friends wanted ME installed on his computer. It worked, until some of his friends put too much stress on the computer (playing Quake 3 Arena, surfing the web using IE, AIM, and Yahoo! Chess at the same time), and the computer no longer worked properly. The Restore utility didn't fix the problem. :-(
I then installed Windows 2000 and it hasn't hiccuped when the stresses are applied. I wouldn't recommend it for running servers. That's the realm of Linux. :-)
One warning: if you do install Windows 2000, and you have an ATI card based on the Rage 128 chipset, you might have to remove the card if you encounter lockups during the hardware detection. You can safely reinstall the card after installation.
