If I get WinXP, what are the first things I should do?

OT: anything goes!

That'll be the corporate edition. Unlike the other editions it's designed not to deliberatly annoy the user.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Do yourself a favor and download Refupdate 2.x and run it every now and then to keep yourself up-to-date. Ad-Aware 6.0 is due to be released pretty soon though.
Spybot Search+Destroy runs rings around Ad-Aware right now. Please download it.
