Keep them.

[[As you may have noticed in the provided information, some of the
certificates have expired. However, these certificates are necessary for
backwards compatibility. Even if there is an expired trusted root
certificate, anything that was signed with that certificate prior to the
expiration date needs that trusted root certificate to be validated. As long
as expired certificates are not revoked, it can be used to validate anything
that was signed prior to its expiration.]]


Trusted Root Certificates That Are Required By Windows 2000, Windows XP, and
Windows Server 2003
