Hmm, never had any trouble with WinXP or Win98 using Windows Update
AFAICR.  That said, I'm now running FBSD 5.1 alongside my Windows
box, the the Windows screen is *behind* me and to the right.  As I'm not
much of a gamer, and my wife/kids have XP in the living room, I've already
succumbed to the switch, and think I'm gonna like it.
