    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.

    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
