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."

MS needs to re-design all the screens that show up from the firewall etc, and EXPLAIN in simple terms what each thing will do if it is enabled or disabled.

If you tell someone - "Hey - don't click that, you will screw up your machine!" Or, "Are you sure you want to open up a broadcast to chixwithdicks.com?", They will get the message pretty quickly.
