Not true. Read here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/lifecycle
All KB articles for all OSs (Vista onwards) are still available.

Microsoft is still supporting windows 7 but slower and vista windows 7 will end it's support date in 202o.

Future Windows patch downloads will be available from the Update Catalog via IE, not from the Download Center.

See the message that appears to originate from MS here.

Other Information
=================

Effective as of the May 2016 security bulletin release, all Windows
updates will be available only via the Microsoft Update Catalog
(http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/), and will no longer be
available on the Microsoft Download Center
(http://download.microsoft.com/). Making the updates available
from only one location simplifies the process for our customers
of finding and downloading security updates.

As per your other post you're running Windows XP.
Have a look over here.

While many new updates may not come for OS older than Win7 or 8 there is the technet library that normally has most if not all KB articles https://technet.microsoft.com/library/default.aspx while its not listed in the main directory, XPs KBs are still available to a point, depends on how you word your search, but you can find most.
