Well, given what you know about XP you could have planned for it and downloaded the patches before connecting it to the internet - I would have, and installed an antivirus product and a firewall. Did you bother to activate the (admittedly limited) inbuilt firewall?

Kind of like what came first, the chicken or the egg. You need to download the patches before connecting to the internet, but you can't download the patches without connecting to the internet first. Ken
