True, I also occasionally run XP inside a VM.
The only issue is that the version of IE bundled with Windows XP cannot be upgraded to a newer engine, so for software such as Office that defer to the IE browser engine shipped with the OS to access the web, it is unable to access HTTPS-only websites like GitHub that use modern ciphers.
GitHub also doesn’t downgrade the SSL connection to use old ciphers that are still supported by a few large websites.
Firefox shows a startup warning it no longer supports XP and Chrome wasn’t usable IIRC. I wonder if there’s a way to upgrade embedded IE on Windows XP?
