My experience is that the Sun jvm works great under W2k, but I just down
loaded it to an XP box and the first application I opened crashed XP.
After a reboot it seemed to work just fine, but I am not running any
Java based servers on XP. I have run them on W2k for weeks with no
problems. 

Sun works very hard to make sure that Java works well on Windows.
