The problems have varied, but a common one was corruption of Windows Explorer (not to be confused with IE), also quite a few boot corruption issues - ntdlr.dll, etc. 

Have you been using a homebuilt or a Dell/HP? I've seen more of these issues with HP/Dell systems than people who  made homebuilt computers. Of course, having worked in gov't sectors, most of the computers are prebuilds, so the sampling stack is heavily from prebuilts.

The box with XP Home is actually from an off-brand computer maker called VPR Matrix.  Still, if you're seeing problems with Dell/HP machines versus homebuilt ones then doesn't it stand to reason that it's something Dell/HP is doing that is causing the problem?  And why is the government sector using XP Home?
