While I will agree with the point about lazynes, I'll make two remarks to start. Most developers tend to be lazy at somethings, eh? :) Secondly, since when is Win XP a production level environment or an "ultimate deployment framework"? Many folks develop on desktops using only the built in server. Testing, QA, integration, etc are certainly performed later in the "ultimate deployment framework" setup.
Now, Jennifer, I have seen posts on cf-talk about installing on win xp and having issues. I would try scouring the cf-talk archives at houseoffusion.com and reading through the tech docs at macromedia.com. I don't use Win XP yet, so can't really say more. I seem to recall people having issues with AV and firewall setups perhaps mucking with something. In fact I never installed CFMX stand alone, prefering the mulitserver version...makes it sweet to dev CF6, CF7, Flex, or JSP apps all on JRun.
