The one thing I'm dreading the most is having to go through all the
security / software updates since I originally installed XP. My copy of XP
Home is old, sheesh, it's barely SP1. So I'm looking at, what?, a couple
hundred or so updates? OUCH! I don't suppose there's any way around that?

The practical question is whether you have high-speed Internet
or dial-up. If HS, SP2 updates should take less than 2 hours,
possibly less than 1h. (You do not have to sit there and watch it.)
