Windows XP is very stable. Reboots, lockups, and other plagues which Windows users have known for years simply vanish when one joins the 21st century. The best way to move to XP is to buy a new machine with it preloaded. With usable new machines starting around $500 these days this is a simple choice. For those who insist on upgrading old hardware I recommend installing XP rather than upgrading whatever old version of Windows was on the machine. The few examples of XP instability I've heard of are either due to flakey hardware or else trying to upgrade an old version of Windows which has a damaged registry.
