I have used XP and XPpro and every time I go back to Win2Kpro. It is a stable
  system with SP4 plus 50 updates! It has 128bit encryption ( I do my banking on line) and you control it. I refurbish old P3's 800 to 1Ghz and the units work like a dream. I install a 10Gb as "C" drive and  anything from a 40Gb to 160Gb as a drive for games, songs, videos and the most important, DOCuments!  I  transfer everything from my documents to the extra drive. If I get a virus, trojan or crash, I don't lose a thing. Even my main unit is 2k with a 2.4Ghz PCU on an 8Gb drive with a 40Gb drive partitioned into 3 drives!
