I'm not aware that anyone INSISTED that XP /needed/to work "out of the box".

Then I fear there might be a huge inconsistency your way of thinking.  XP is
a new OS with all the bell's and whistle's turned on.  Nothing wrong with
that, right?  Essentially, your complaint is that "out of the box", XP
doesn't work on legacy pc's.  Well..  RTFM and turn the those default
settings off.

There are many people and resources here and elsewhere that can help with
the learning curve of XP.
