I'd gather doing such a thing wouldn't be a very smart idea, would it?

As for these so-called "zero day exploits", I've never been
personally or professionally affected by them since I apply common sense to
security, especially on an inherently insecure platform as Windows.  But
running what is basically an ancient piece of software that's unprepared
for today's problems would just be asking for Pandora's box to be opened
for you.
