I believe it won't be necessary to completely cut off XP/2003 (at least
not for this reason). Worst case scenario would be XP/2003 not able to
listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 and requiring a configuration change to
listen on 0.0.0.0 (i.e. any IPv4 address). And IMHO even the latter
could be worked around either by installer modifying the config or by
a runtime check to interpret empty RemoteBindAddress as 0.0.0.0 when
running on pre-Vista Windows.
