Security maybe, but not stability. XP SP1 was rock solid, and even RTM was nowhere close to "godawful".

No it wasn’t. XP was quite solid in terms of stability, miles beyond its predecessors. You have to remember that its mediate predecessor was Windows ME.
It was also far more secure, but it was still not nearly secure enough.
