I support 800 Windows system and even with my companies most rigorous network protections we run into compromised systems.
Windows XP inherited the same system restore features that Windows Me has. From a support standpoint Windows Xp requires many of the same procedures as ME to fix a compromised system.
Security issues with Windows continues unabated.
My job requires me to support Windows boxes .... I don't have to like them.
Windows is just one Big can of worms.
Checkout Symantecs Security Response web pages.
Email viruses .... Instant Messasging security flaws
Sony/BMG rootkit .... yum !!!
If thats not enough the NSA has been loading windows systems with tracking cookies to spy on americans.

But then who needs privacy in a Neo-Conservative America ?
The safest way to use a windows box is to run it without internet access.
