Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but I've got three machines I've upgraded 
from various Red Hat releases through FC3, and they all work fine.  Of 
course, I've been going one step at a time, but it shouldn't be a 
problem to go straight from FC1 to FC3.

As for protecting Windows XP from Fedora Core 2, you have two options. 
First, Google suggested this document: http://lwn.net/Articles/86835/ 
Second, I would expect (though I don't know for sure) that the problems 
with the FC2 installer have been fixed in FC3.
