Sort of depends on what you mean by "test" - according to wikimo, the
Talos XP boxes are SP2, but afair unit tests have always been Server
2k3, and even back to Fx2 builds are 2k3 (though I think they might have
started out as 2k, and Thunderbird 2 is apparently still chugging along
on a 2k tinderbox).

If you break perf on SP3 but not on SP2, you won't know it, but if you
break something unit tested on XP-anything but not 2k3 (or Vista but not
2k3), you'll only know it if someone finally says "you know, I haven't
been able to get a test run on my XP VM to pass since..." or when
someone reports the real-world breakage.
