Bad choice. The bad guys will be focused on Win XP users using defects
defined and fixed by Microsoft in Win 7, 8 and 10 but not XP. There is
a high probability that defects in those later versions also occur in
XP. The bad guys won't even have to look hard. Microsoft will have
done the legwork for them.

I have this thing firewalled, malwared, and anti-virused to the hilt,
which makes start-up and shut-down a little slow. I also make
liberal use of the HOST file as a primary defense. Nice thing about
older OSs is that fewer, if any people are writing malware to affect
them. They've instead moved on to the newer ones. I still have a
Win98SE machine and it hasn't seen any problems for more than 5
years. I really want those crooks to focus on Win10 as they will
leave WinXP alone.
