If you could post the link where you read that info, it would be very helpful.

Why would they? XP is a 12 year old end of life unsupported operating
system, officially "do not use".
IE8 is a 5 year old, non standards compliant browser which you choose
to use despite there being a wide selection of modern secure standards
compliant browsers downloadable in under a minute.
There may be reasons you choose to do these things despite putting
yourself at great risk (I REALLY hope you don't do online banking on
that laptop!) but you can hardly blame Sendspace.
All of that said, I've just switched into emulating IE8 on XP and it
still worked fine. I've not found anything to support what Whizza
says, but I'm sure when he posts the link we'll know the reason. What
is possibly more likely is that there's some kind of dodgy plugin or
redirecting malware which has redirected your request to what looks
like a spam-laden copy of a Google page, from what I can see from the
text.
