XP is the way to go. Faster and more secure with additional local and group 
security policies. Crashes recover gracefully. Problems with CD-burning 
that the available hotfix failed to remedy. Upgrade to Win2K. Slower than 
Win98, but security features (ACLs, EFS, Event Log) invaluable if 
connecting to an untrusted network. Buy more memory, if need be. With 
regards to licensing, avoid both and go with a Linux/FreeBSD desktop, or 
Solaris if your hardware can handle it.
