I noticed recently when looking at test failure screenshots that the Windows DevEdition runs didn't appear to have proper branding compared to Linux/OSX.

I dug a bit deeper and found out that this is because we're running both tc(B) and tc(N) jobs, of which tc(B) is incorrectly branded and tc(N) is branded as expected. Unfortunately, we're running tests on the tc(B) builds instead of the tc(N) ones, so we aren't actually testing what we're shipping.

Looking at other platforms, it appears that for Linux and OSX, we in fact *only* create & test tc(N) builds, so it seems like the right fix here is to remove the Windows DevEdition tc(B) builds & tests and make sure that tests get scheduled off tc(N) builds instead.
On a side note, it seems that in general, we run both tc(B)/tc(N) on most platforms on Beta and I'm wondering if there's more room for optimizing which builds we create there to save some resources. Fodder for a follow-up maybe :)
