I have never had problems with XP, it's very stable for me. I'm not even running a SP2, just a fully patched SP1. I use Mozilla suite for web browsing, with various options tweaked for security/annoyance reasons. I also run behind a DLink router, which is probably one of the best ways to prevent the usual problems. Periodic Spybot/AdAware checks and Norton cleanup keeps it running with no problems. IE is only used to do Windows Update. If a site needs IE, they don't get my business. They should be using the standards.
