I should say that Windows XP is not intrinsically insecure.  You can 
secure it, and I don't mean trivially by removing the network 
connection, but by shutting down unneeded services, replacing 
iexplorer.exe with firefox where possible, and so on.  I have heard that 
Dragon Naturally Speaking is very good, and that seems like a good 
reason to run Windows.
