Read it again moron. I said its "Windows 2000 n00bified". I never said it was based on Win2k. Don't put words in my mouth.
But it IS based on Windows 2000. The 2000 kernel is a bottom up audit and total rewrite of the the NT4 kernel. The XP kernel is an update (not rewrite) of the 2000 kernel.
As far as the XP interface goes, well that's a skin, and can be replaced with like four clicks of the mouse with the old Win2k skin.
I still won't upgrade from 2k, but its still a decent OS.
