Noooooo. There was an article in the last 6 months about someone connecting a windows xp to the internet just to see what happened, and within 10 minutes it had been scanned and infected. They repeated the experiment several times.

It's child's play (like, literally script kiddie level) to run automated scans and if a vulnerability, like a really old operating system, is found to then attack it.
