If you want to further customize your phone....jailbreak away!
1. Your using XP, so you will have to use either "winpwn" or "quickpwn"
2. If you follow the instructions properly, there is a very small chance you will do something really bad.
3. Yes, you can keep the boot-up image factory (only by using winpwn though, not quickpwn)
4. Do worry about having to re-activate. All you have to do is plug into Itunes, it will activate auto without you even filling anything out.
5. Just backup your phone using Itunes first, that will store your sms msgs, contacts, settings, photos, etc.
6. Yes, you can use a WinPC (XP) to create themes.
PS - Quickpwn is the extremely easy way of doing it, however you will have the pineapple logo, but keep in mind if you ever need to take it to Apple for some reason, you will want to restore it to factory anyway (which you can do). With winpwn you have to create a custom .ipsw file (firmware file) and restore your phone using that. The major this is creating the firmware file PROPERLY, which means following the directions.
