I have an old Thinkpad that originally came with Win95. At some point I did a clean install of Win2k on it. Later I inadvisedly did an upgrade to WinXP. At bootup it still offers 2000 or XP - out of curiosity I just selected 2000 instead of the default XP: it came up OK (one error message about a missing file) including the old users' directories, but appeared to think it was a new install (did I want to configure IE, Outlook &c.)
Hence the question - is XP just a few extra eye-candy bits added to Win2k? - If not where has Win2k been hiding? (there is only one disk partition, also if I move files e.g. to C:\ when in Win2k the changes are still there in XP. And if XP isn't really there what about Vista?
