Windows XP has several features that distinguish it from Windows 2000.
1. The Luna interface.
2. Integrated zip functionality.
3. Remote Assistance.
4. Integrated CD burning.
5. Hyperthreading support
6. User-mode driver framework (created after XP was released, and never backported).
8. Fast User Switching
9. The option to run tasks as an "Administrator" while logged in as an unprivileged account (pity this isn't done more often).
Windows 95 and 98 is based on the Windows 4.x Kernel. Windows 2000 and XP is baed on the NT Kernel. XP sports a different GUI compared to 95982000, this is the main difference between windows 2000/98 and XP.
There is no such thing as "performance edition."
No. Windows 2000 is older than Windows XP, and thus it is not an upgrade.
Yes. But in practice, almost all programs written for Windows 2000 run fine on XP.
•Windows XP is heavily based on the Windows NT and 2000 core. •Default user login identical to XP Home Edition, but can be configured to do domain authentication like NT and 2000 •Administrative shares exist and are accessible in the same manner that they were in NT and 2000. •Windows XP continues the 32-bit programming model that was fully implemented in NT and 2000 -from Sabastian Gomes B'lore

Windows 2000 applications and settings are kept and Windows XP upgrade is quicker than a fresh new installation of XP.
