- EthanHeilman 8y agoPretty secure compared to what? It had some security features that windows 95/98 didn't have so in comparison to windows 98 it was more secure. However windows XP had a large number of critical vulnerabilities and weaknesses. A holiday sweater is more bullet resistant than a thin t-shirt, but no one would say a holiday sweater is "pretty bullet proof".

In the immortal words of the virus: "billy gates why do you make this possible ? Stop making money and fix your software!!"
