Much easier to get and install a copy of WinXP than old Linux.
Really? Just about every distro I know has an archive of past releases. With WinXP I wouldn't know where to begin.
Completely incorrect. You can find old Debian releases here:
https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/
That's the official Debian site and contains releases going back to 2002. You can surely find older versions if you really want with a bit of effort beyond 2 minutes of searching that it took me to find this.
Linux just removed the support so any Linux distro available currently should still support it
