> This totally ignores the concept of "zero-days", vulnerabilities discovered that are only known by bad actors or known but not patched yet.

If we're talking zero-days, then XP offers no more or less protection than any other version of Windows on that front.



Either Windows XP has no vulnerabilities left and we should all immediately start using it or it has lingering vulnerabilities and they simply aren't noticed by more recent projects like Google Project Zero.


...I mean, you could say the same thing about any other version of Windows, so I don't quite get the point you're making.
