Reply to comment by googonite in Internet Explorer 11 has retired and is officially out of support by Tweho

Eventually compilers for popular programming languages drop any support for Windows XP so new malware can't even be built that would run on it, unless the malware developers themselves ran 10-year-old obsolete versions of compilers... but then the program libraries they might depend on have also moved on and don't work w/ such an old compiler. On a long enough time scale, Windows XP could be safe from new threats arising. ;)

Not safe from State Actors though. Only non-state actors won't bother.

I'm guessing because state actors would have the resources to find such antique software?
