Played the hell out of X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter.

XvT wasn't very successful, it was a multiplayer-aimed remake, but converting the old missions was done with little playtesting... there are engine/mechanics changes I mentioned in the first post here. For single player experience I'd suggest starting with X-Wing or TIE Fighter. If you hate DOS graphics, there was a Collector Series re-release with updated textured models.

So, do all these modern X-Wing installers work on Windows XP?

If you just want to enjoy plain old DOS editions, all you need is to introduce yourself to DOSBOX.
