I know this might seam a stupid question but its puzzling me, can you put a different OS onto a microsoft based system?

I've got a really old laptop and ive put microsoft Xp Home SP2 onto it and its crap, i then found Windows 2000 Pro and burned to cd and installed, that was crap aswell, just wondering if i can put a different os onto it :chin: :chin:
