Any advice?

Personally, I'd only do it if I knew that a major problem I was having under win2k was only fixed under XP, or some program I needed to run would run under XP but not win2k - other than that, why bother? Upgrade installations suck, as has been noted, and a clean install means reinstalling all your software and moving all your data files over.

Unless there's a compelling reason, I generally don't bother. And for me, eye candy is not particularly compelling ;)
