My win2k box runs Firefox with 100+ at times with little issue aside Firefox's memory leak. Windows (any ver) used by someone who has little to no clue how to secure it and make it purr along will result in what we have: Massive network issues from worms, Fraud, and Theft. I personally welcome id10t users as i am a tech and I make the bulk of my money from said users. I also offer classes on how to use a pc and keep your self clean. Even the minor of steps goes a very long way for windows security and safety. I use Debian as my poison of choice for workstations and fBSD for servers or high load boxes.
