If I hypothetically needed to record voices or instruments, what's a really inexpensive/effective, XP-friendly program that I could get?

You can record voices with a program called audacity. As for record interments, I'm not sure.

audacity is the "preferred" freeware sound editing software. additionally, you can try power sound editor. this is also free. goldwave is a little more spiffy but the trial version only allows for like 1000 or something actions.

If you wanna be REALLY cheap, go to:

Birds fall from the window ledge above mine. Then they flap their wings at the last second. I can see
their dead weight just dropping like stones or small loaves of bread past my window all the time.
But unless I get up, walk across the room and peer down below, I don't see their last second curves
toward a horizontal flight. Now due to a construct in my mind that makes their falling and their flight
symbolic of my entire existence, it becomes important for me to get up and see their last second
curves toward flight. It's almost as if my life will fall unless I see their ascent.

What about microphones? I need pretty good quality, but I don't want to pay too much.

Well, if you want a mic that doesn't suck, and can record anything, Drums, Guitar Amps, Vocals, Your looking at an Shure SM-58. There about 100 dollars, which might seem like a lot, but its not. Thats the best mic you can get for a cheap amount. And its near indistrutible. Works after being drowned, lit on fire, frozen, driven over, used as a hammer, and way more stupid stuff. Trust me. Best thing there is.

Also, your going to need something to plug XLR into your computer, and your going to need some kind of interface. Line 6 Makes something cheap thats really effective, but I forget the name at the moment.
