There is no compiler with (_MSC_VER > 2000) and taking the legacy codepath would probably break compilation again when there is. As (_MSC_VER < 1300) (that would be MSVC up to 6.0 from 1998) is not supported by Boost anymore anyway and cannot compile Boost.Thread, this codepath can just be removed completely.
