[PLUG] W2K or XP for dual-boot system?

I'm in the market for a new desktop machine. It'll run Debian 90% of
the time, but I do handheld software for fun and will need to run
windows occasionally to use the compilers for WinCE. So it'll be a
dual-boot system.
I seem to have a choice between machines with W2K and XP installed,
and so am wondering if I should care. My work-issued laptop
dual-boots with W2K and seems fine (and runs all the apps I need). XP
is newer, and presumably will be current longer; but I worry about its
reputation as spyware and whether it'll be a good citizen on a
dual-boot disk.
Any suggestions or experience to share? Any good articles on the
subject?
Thanks,
