Not really a viable option. On Windows, security updates (all of them) are a necessity. The only real option is to continue using old hardware -- or buy new hardware with the old CPUs. I'm sure Microsoft's OEM partners are going to really appreciate that.
For me -- personally -- the best option is to move to Linux. I did that years ago. Unfortunately I still have to support my wife's Windows 7 desktop and laptop. And when I buy "new" (probably refurbished) machines I'll have to make sure they don't have the newer CPUs in them.
