"We evaluated the security features of Windows XP SP2 on a test machine, following a clean install of XP Pro with no configuration changes and no third-party software or drivers installed. We installed XP with the NTFS file system, choosing all of the factory defaults, then patched it with each recommended security update including SP-1 (required), before installing SP2."

Well, be glad you don't have all Linux machines there.
You might be out of a job or work part time or on consulting basis.
Companies are not stupid and if they can save a dollar they will even if it means leting people go.
Many people, myself included, owe their jobs to Windows faulty design.
I love Linux and run it most of the time, but I sure don't want all my clients switching to it.
Besides, it's nice to be regarded as a computer wiz, even though all I have to do is fire up Adaware or Spybot and click start. And then look smart when pointing out how much nasty spyware they have and why their computer is so slow.
