    Get nero and clone cd defo.
    XP pro is good but home sucks.
    most people prefer 2k tho, personnaly i had to many problems with it, XP has a lot less than 2k for me.

    K for burning then m8 heres what i,d suggest !!

    nero burning rom...
    Svcds and vcds straight audio...

    There the best !!

    Regarding game performance over different windows flavours, there is not much different - see www.tomshardware.com for the article and benchmarks.
    Burning apps as above :)
    OfficeXP is the latest (Office 11 in beta) tho take a look at www.openoffice.org
