<< I will on occasion drift back to my old DOS-based/W95 games (circa 95-96 like the orig. Warcraft and Warcraft II, Apache, Hind, the Crusader series, etc.) - does Win2K or WinXP give you the capability to play these games? >>
I can't speak specifically about these games in xp, maybe others can, but xp does allow you to run applications in "compatibility mode" for win95,98,2000 which increases the possibility that an earlier app can be run.
I am surprised however with all the accolades people have given xp here. I, for one, have not been that impressed (though I continue to use it). Forget about customized screen resolution/color depth among mutiple users under xp which forced me to put my son/wife's comp back to 98.
With the two computers I still have using xp pro, it is hit and miss as to whether systray icons for norton antivirus 2002, zonealarm, motherboard monitor and/or soundcard properties will appear. Something which I find mildly annoying.
