Tacking on something to what Jerome's posting -
Another perspective may be to try to get the list to focus more on 'why'
questions in contrast to 'how' questions.
How questions are good, but why questions tend to lend information that
the end user could learn from.

xp machine that is running automatic updates (my vm).
If the computer is running automatic updates you will probably have to
have an unpublished vulnerability, or try to look for ways the computer
was setup by the administrator that may lend to remote access . (eg
default or null passwords etc).
ImmunitySec has a good resource for vulnerability sharing that isn't
shared with the public at large, but I doubt that is what you are
looking for.

What about installing a few different revisions of XP on your vmware
lab.
XP SP0
XP SP1
XP SP2
Or organize your vm sessions by each monthly patch to test specific
vulnerabilities that you have exploits for.
