XP Home is stabler than a 9x, friendly enough to walk them through the RIGHT stuff easily, and it's got enough NT core to stop them from fucking up the big stuff. (I've got an actual NAT/firewall box set up for them so XP's firewall is even less useful.)
Plus, it boots off CD in case of emergency recovery ... "Ok, put the CD in the drive. Now reboot. Now click here, here and here. Now you're done." Much easier than "OK, find the EBD ... the boot disk ... the little black thing ... Damnit, I'll come home and do it myself."
Opinions of the n3rd0rs?

Luna is ucking fugly...I've still never gotten over that (and yes, I know that you can change it to the classic win GUI but still...)

It's made my workday much less stressful. Easy to fix stuff in.

i like it - it's on my home machine, and with the addition of Window Blinds it doesn't look bad at all.
