Just do a virtual machine of windows XP which has the latest updates and other software installed, ( and follow the licensing issues) and then make a snapshot or a clone. This simple directory structure can be booted as a VM (virtual machine) on any Intel/AMD system, under either simple windoes or better yet, simple Linux install.
this way also you can "reload" your users to the initial snapshot, and therefore a fresh but up todate Winxp install, without all the windows bureaucratic overhead.
so it they keep their files on network stores for example, then they can reset the snapshot on a dialy basis and avoid Windows normal decay/corruption processes.
And VMPlayer is free, as is a decent Linux, like Open SuSE.
