I use Windows Update on a regular basis and haven't had a problem. YMMV.
If stability is your major goal, then Linux or BSD would be good choices. Not as many games for them, though.
For me, my job is developing for Windows (mostly) with some Unix thrown in. If you have to use a Win32 OS, then 2000 and XP are better choices than the 95 based versions.
