I never upgrade windows version, I had problems with a w2k to XP once
and I have also found MS O/S seem to get very bloated with lots of
temporary files, fragmentation etc, it is normally a good excuse to
start a fresh.

I can't help you with the Gates themselves however
http://www.ceoemail.com/ is very good and has contact details for Gordon
Frazer (MS UK MD)
I have had some good results using the contact on this site, although it
is normally passed to someone to deal with, it generally seems to have a
high visibility and a good resolve is often found.
Hope this helps
Rgds
Peter.
