Your XP machine may or may not be a problem, depending on how advanced the updates are, as the later Service Packs are supposed to install the automatic update service - if you can keep it off the internet before you finish programming the radio, it will work fine with the driver that comes with it. If not, the Prolific driver will load over it and cancel it.
Just for the record, the XP drivers will work fine with the counterfeit chips. They will not be updated because as of a few months ago, Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP. I recently had to reinstall XP on a computer and found out how difficult they make it to get XP support.
