We have decided to no longer care about XP/2003 results, precisely because the maintenance cost of keeping the tests running is bigger than the benefits of supporting obsolete platforms.

If there's a case where you need to investigate the XP/2003 behavior, I'd suggest extracting just that test to a separate exe.
