2000, btw
if upgrading from ME to XP isn't recommended, upgrading to 2000 and then to XP is even less recommended
There's no point in installing 2000 first and then XP. It's a lost of time.

that's not the main reason. In fact ME and XP have different kernel, but that shouldn't be a problem. The problem comes with dodgy programs that write files to system folders and those files may be still there when they shouldn't or may not be and they should. Also, the registry would still have lots of old, useless entries.
Upgrading also increases the fragmentation of the disk, and some aplications need to be reinstalled again.

that's the "default" behaviour. Noone should have any problem when upgrading Windows, however (and once again
) that's not recommended
