The other problem with Windows XP and https is SNI. You cant serve more than one domain with different ssl certificates from the same IP address, you either use SANs or different IP addresses. This does not only affect IE on XP but every browser.

IIRC, Chrome and Firefox for XP support SNI because they bundle their own TLS libraries, rather than using a system library.
