Why bother patching? Who really uses IE or OE these days? I have a perfectly good working Windows XP SP1 (I have not updated to SP2 or any of the "fixes" from that point on). I have no viruses or spyware. The router behind my T1 has a sufficient firewall. I leave the perfectly-workable pre-SP2 firewall enabled. I VPN to work and SSH to home when necessary.
While I haven't been tempted (yet) to try out FairUse4WM, there's not a darn thing that Microsoft can do to stop me. They do not own my computer, I DO.
