Yes, Microsoft will not be putting out new security fixes for Windows 
XP, so any security vulnerabilities found in Windows XP will not be 
fixed. This will be true for any antimalware sofware and not just MSE.

You can still get Windows 7. I also don't think Windows 8 is that hard 
to use unless you want to take advantage of it's touch screen features. 
You will miss things like the start menu, but Microsoft is adding that 
back in with updates to Windows 8.
