If there are places where our *_win.cpp would be a lot cleaner by moving the XP code into a separate _winxp.cpp file, that sounds like a good way to transition away from potentially unsupported/deprecated code and start using the newer (hopefully better) APIs available. Judging from the community reaction, we shouldn't remove that code altogether just yet.

Also note that in many cases, the older API usage isn't there just for XP's benefit, but also Windows CE.
