One important thing in my opinion is the spec of your current computer - i have Win XP installed on my old AMD 350MHz 128MB RAM PC with very few prblems. I cant use some of the cheesy features included with XP(it slows down too much) but all in all the system is the most stable it has ever been. Furthermore the amount of free disk space can be a issue- win xp takes up around 2GB on my machine - this includes the main OS, Office XP and a few other essential bits and pieces - you could do a compact install if space was a problem.
You might also come with a few problems with drivers wehn you update to XP, personally i have had few problems - i think ive been lucky, but i know friends who have had a many long nights trying to find Win XP drivers for their systems. If you decide to upgrade i would check that all you hardware is compatible with XP - should be easy as checking the manufacters web site. Im not sure what you mean by "can you still use your office 2000 disc". If you mean will Office 2000 work with XP then the answer is yes because i have used 2000 with Win XP with no problems.
Ultimately i reckon that upgrading to Win XP is a good idea. The actual upgraded should be fairly straightforward, a lot less user involvement than earlier windows installations. In my experience i have found Win XP the most stable of all windows platfroms (except maybe NT, but you cant have everything i guess). I have win XP installed on both my PC's and i have installed it for a few friends and all of them reckon that its the best version of windows so far. The Microsoft Windows XP site is probably a good place to get some more info on how and why you should upgrade (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/default.asp). just take the info with a pinch of salt - it is microsoft after all :)
