Software development is a much different animal than it was 20 years ago. As program size has increased, so has the number of security flaws.

Please help, I don't know where to go to get some information on upgrading my system from Windows ME to XP. I have heard so many horror stories about XP. I have not had any problems with my ME. I need some advice or direction where to find some pros and cons.
Thank you
