And as it stands right now there are some holes in XP such as the
so-called "zero day" flaw which just happen to take advantage of
graphics files and it's apparently more than just Windows Meta Files
(WMF). They are recommending WMF be disabled, but that can mess with
your thumbnails and some other graphics files.

Look up the suggestions at Microsoft.com, (check for zero-day) but for
now I'd not want to put up a XP Pro server.
