Well, while I can understand the money issue, here is my reasoning:
I bought a laptop that had XP on it. Therefore I figured my desktop should be XP
as well. Win XP is more stable and secure than Win 9x. But I only had a few
problems with Win 9x. Mainly I justified it to "future-proof" myself.

Of course I think the security is still not as good as it should be (you
practically *have* to run with administrator privilidges). I still find it easier
to administer than Linux/*BSD systems. And I haven't quite got the cash for a Mac
yet.
