Experiences vary.

*My* XP machines are generally quite reliable; the Dell workstation 
can putter away for weeks without incident, while my laptops tend to 
have the occasional boot lock-up ('bout once or twice a month).  It's 
no big -- kill the power and re-boot.

Your cousin may have other issues -- viruses or malware, badly 
fragmented hive files, etc.  Various utilities exist to analyze and 
(if necessary) rectify these problems.  WinXP's got its problems, but 
I sure don't miss Win95!
