Thats where the entire fips validation really breaks down.  Complete end user 
confusion on what machine, operating system and processer type can and cannot 
be used.  It must be a real deployment stumbling block for large organizations.

That validation will include the following MS Windows platforms:

    Windows 7 32bit on x86, SSE2 optimization
    Windows 7 64bit on x86, SSE2 optimization

AES-NI optimization is not covered, so for instance the module cannot be
used with Windows on many Intel Core i5 processors.
