Software is not "immortal" in a practical sense. It needs hardware to run and an environment that can handle it. In your case you for example need a virtual xp environment. Of course it is possible to provide these environments, but someone has to program these too. And if you look to apps like browsers, if standards are changing, you could not use them for their purpose anymore. Not to speak about security issues.
