You don't have to be security oriented to not want XP in the workplace.
There are plenty of other reasons. Install XP to someplace other than C: and
the default directory name, delete boot.ini then try and recover using the
Cd if you want to experience but one of them.. (you'll have to try the same
thing with W2K to understand the full meaning of what I'm describing)
