You have to understand India's position here and US should not put India in an uncomfortable position by unnecessary sanctions. First, India is surrounded by Pakistan and China - two nations which have extremely hostile relations to India. Kashmir is a territorial conflict land with Pak as is Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh with China. China is the all-powerful nation here - by military strength, technology and economy. India's military strength cannot match big powers like China, Russia or United States or NATO. If India were to alienate Russia, Russia would become BFFs with China and India would have no ally left to send them weapons to defend themselves against China.

XP is a completely functional OS and any one with common sense can secure it properly. Later OSes are broken in one way or the other. Wait till SP2 for Windows 7 arrives to bloat your C:\Windows\WinSxS folder. Vista was one attempt to take over your computer, Windows 7 is decent but doesn't fix Vista's wrongdoings and now Windows 8 is take 2 to take over your computer. The computer controls you, you don't control it.
