The "XP/Vista" text in the "Download Gnucash 3.10" box at the top of the 
main gnucash.org page links to 
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnucash/gnucash-2.6.21.setup
.exe
which does not go directlly where you expect, but to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/
from which clicking on the top ("gnucash (stable)") link leads you to the 
list of available releases. Which, yes, does include 2.6.21 which the 
main page tells you is the latest one supported on XP/Vista. So the OP's 
complaint that it "just goes to the version for 7, 8 and 10" is 
incorrect.

It might be better to have the link on the main page point to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.6.
21/
or
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.6.
21/gnucash-2.6.21-setup.exe/download

Incidentally I am still on 2.6.21 (on Win10) and find it entirely 
satisfactory. I have tried one or two of the 3.x series but see no 
compelling reason to upgrade (if it ain't broke ...)
