Obsolete is defined ...

Code:
1. No longer in use; gone into disuse; disused; neglected;
        as, an obsolete word; an obsolete statute; -- applied
        chiefly to words, writings, or observances.
        [1913 Webster]
My computer is "in use" and it's not "neglected."
If you want to run a newer version of Kobo Desktop on your system and you cannot, because the requirements are too much for your hardware, then your computer IS obsolete.

That's the problem. Too many XP installed are on OBSOLETE hardware.
