No, it won't. XP was dead before LE was born. It will probably not
work for other ancient stuff, like pyramids.

I don't know how much money you would have to put into the paid
"Custom Plan" for something like this to happen, but since the rest
of the world does not have a paid "Support Win XP forever" plan,
it's not really their problem either.

If XP still works for you, cool. If it does not, well, there have
been a few new versions now to choose an upgrade from. Or switch to
GNU/Linux, I hear it's quite good.
