You are lucky - I installed XP on an older machine and have been unable to get XP, any patch or service pack level, to run for even 12 hours without a BSOD. I'm sure if you by a new machine and install the latest drivers everything works fine, but in typical fashion, Microsoft cares not about older hardware and requires a hardware upgrade to use XP without a hitch (the web is repleat with reports of problems after people upgrade machines to XP from relatively stable machines running W2K).
There are still bugs in windows that have been there since 95 - of particular note is a bug with modal windows and window hierarchies more than 2 layers deep - Windows has not been able to properly handle this when it has worked in X11 since at least R4.
