Not if that version has publicly known exploits that have been patched

The wise man does not rush.
Unfortunately, this isn't really true for security updates, and often is
followed to the point of exaggeration. See: Conficker infections.
Unfortunately, most of these answers don't address my underlying
question. Are the newer versions of Seamonkey backwards compatable with
my older version of Windows (Win2kpro)running on outdated hardware?
Also, do they hog resources the way that newer versions of windows do?
In other words, my old PIII-900 with 256 megs of RAM runs Win2K pretty
well, but I suspect it would bog down under XP, which is one reason I've
not upgraded. But at this point it is also tying me back to legacy
versions of some software and I'm wondering if Mozilla/Seamonkey falls
into that category.
