I'm sure you could find some oss projects

  I'm sure you can't. You might find open source projects that are older than 16 years, e.g. Linux. But that's not the same. Nobody is maintaining Linux 2.4, which was released in 2001. Its support only lasted until in 2010 as far as I can tell.

    I think NetBSD qualifies for whatever criteria you're trying to express.

    In that case, let's compare apples with apples- the final release of XP was in 2008. So we're looking for software released on or before 2001, actively developed until 2008, then on life support since then. On the other hand, many oss projects have rolling releases, so trying to compare like this is futile, expect for the fact they have been maintained for a very long time. LaTeX 2e has been around since 1994 and is still the current, maintained version.
