Of the Windows boxes I have, the Win XP is the most stable. In my experience it is the most stable Windows OS I have used. It was a fresh install on a new machine with all new equipment, boards, etc. so there are 0 driver problems.
DO, buy different firewall software.
DO, check the internet for the registration files that can be removed.
DO, check to see that all of the cards and equipment you have are supported. If they aren't do NOT install the OS.
DO NOT, use the MS Passport or MSN Passport or whatever it is.
Now, the BEST OS to use is Mac OS X (10.1 really). That OS is beautiful, stable, and user friendly. Unfortunately, all my software is now Windows so I would end up running windows in a window anyway.
Win XP still does crash, it is far more rare than Win 98 or ME, but I have had "hard" crashes while using MS Internet Explorer.
