I've been using my Dell mini Inspiron 910 with Windows XP since it came out with no (particular) problems.
Not real good at explaining things so mostly I'll just list what I use.
Atlantis word processor, Sumatra PDF, Gnumeric for spread sheet, VLC for music, Crap Cleaner for cleaning up the system, Seamonkey for the browser, Thunderbird for mail and Softmaker Office.
Atlantis is the best word processor I have ever used. Free to try and a small sum to buy. Softmaker (free version) is the smoothest operating suite I have used but seldom have a need for it. All the above are on my USB stick.
My windows firewall is on and I use nothing else on the machine. I use one of the online services to check my computer about once a month. I never open an email from a person I don't know, never open a link from people I know. For the rest of it the current set of browsers do a fine job of filtering when set up to do so.
Good day to you.
