 Legacy Windows and SSL
 ======================
 
-   Some of the project configurations allow the use of WinSSL (specifically
-   Schannel from Windows SSPI), the native SSL library in Windows. However,
-   WinSSL in Windows <= XP is unable to connect to servers that no longer
-   support the legacy handshakes and algorithms used by those versions. If
-   you will be using curl in one of those earlier versions of Windows you
-   should choose another SSL backend such as OpenSSL.
