From what I've read about them, XP and Vista both include a number of "features" and deliberate design decisions which IMO are Bad Ideas. (Mostly involving security and DRM issues, which I'd rather not get into a lengthy discussion of.)

I'm hoping to buy a used system in the near future, which is probably going to have XP already installed. I don't intend to connect it to the net until I've done some research on what settings I have to change to ameliorate the security problems.
