Nick,
Win2k doesn't have USB2 support built in.  Most USB2 cards include their
own Win2k drivers -- it's a lot less "foriegn" to add USB2 to Win2k than,
say, adding the original USB to Win95.  An Adaptec card is doing fine for
me (in the unfriendly environment of a 3 year old, Win2k, dual processor
server).  There are plenty of other good ones.

Concerns about "only on XP" vs the established Win2k depend on what you
expect to run.  For quite a while any peripheral or software developer who
only goes for XP customers is throwing out a huge potential market.
