While I agree with you on Windows versions later than XP being markedly worse
from a technical guy's usability perspective (actually Windows Server 2003 +
nlite/ xplite was the best client OS setup I ever used ), you are denying
yourself a very significant amount of security patches and I would define this
behaviour as a bit irresponsible of your PC only contains your own data, and
possibly illegal if you have any customer personal data or payment
information. I hate the newer Microsoft OSes as much as you but run Windows 10
(plus a healthy amount of Non-Microsoft OSes). At least upgrade your browser
because that's the main entry vector for malware nowadays, you will find that
recent versions of Firefox are quite enjoyable - latest one even started

I have no solid information at all that indicates that any Microsoft operating
system is more secure than Windows XP SP3 with the latest Microsoft patches.
None. No such information at all.

For all I know, all Microsoft patches for later Microsoft operating systems
are only for bugs in those operating systems and not for bugs in the XP
version I am running.

I have no even reasonable information that there are any security bugs in the
XP installation I have.

I have no reason to believe that Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 is more secure than
XP; as far as I know, XP is more secure than those operating systems.

And similarly for Windows Server.

How the heck Flash could give malware to my XP system is beyond me, and I've
seen no explanation.

XP should be able to run any user mode software at all safely. I have heard no
claims that it can. It it cannot, then I very much want to know why not. For
decades several time sharing systems apparently could run any software at all,
including operating systems, safely.
