FYI the OSSI is in the process of submitting a new 0.9.8 based FIPS Object Module for validation. This time around we will include MS Windows, thanks to a generous corporate sponsor, but the number of platforms we can test is severely constrained by available funding -- the test lab fees alone are several kilobucks a platform and they don't work on a volunteer basis.
