What did happen is that management decided there SHOULD BE such cross-engineering,which meant we had to stop hand-crafting our CPU designs and switch to an SoC design style. This results in giving up a lot of performance, chip area, and efficiency. The reason DEC Alphas were always much faster than anything else is they designed each transistor by hand. Intel and AMD had always done so at least for the critical parts of the chip. That changed before I left - they started to rely on synthesis tools, automatic place and route tools, etc. I had been in charge of our design flow in the years before I left, and I had tested these tools by asking the companies who sold them to design blocks (adders, multipliers, etc.) using their tools. I let them take as long as they wanted. They always came back to me with designs that were 20% bigger, and 20% slower than our hand-crafted designs, and which suffered from electromigration and other problems.
That is now how AMD designs chips. I'm sure it will turn out well for them [/sarcasm]
About why the chose to use PolarSSL:
Among the notable differences between OpenVPN and OpenVPN-NL is the cryptographic library. Correct SSL functionality is essential for the protection that OpenVPN offers. OpenSSL is a large and complex library. PolarSSL is a compact and modular library, which is small enough for a fairly in-depth evaluation. Therefore, in the OpenVPN-NL package, it has been chosen to exchange PolarSSL for OpenSSL. This change does not change functionality; the two libraries (OpenSSL and PolarSSL) are mutually compatible.

But as being said in another comment, someone now working for Fox-IT was involved in PolarSSL. Extra functionality and documentation was added to PolarSSL by Fox-IT according to a comment on a tech-site (tweakers.net) by someone who claims to be the maintainer of PolarSSL.
No problems here with SP2.
did a fresh install from cd with SP2 included.
I think the main problems from SP2 are related to people who update via windows update and that some running programs disturb the installation proces.
60 gig seems huge now but with formats like FLAC musepack (MPC) and other formats that take much space 60 gig will not be really big in the near future.

I can recommend Palemoon.instead of Waterfox.
Its compiled for new (SSE2) cpu's and some "redundant and optional code" is disabled.

I have an ihas 324, performs well with EAC. See reviews at above sites.
An ad blocker isn't an adequate solution for 0-day drive-by downloads. Use Noscript (firefox) or Notscripts (Chrome). It's like an internet condom.

options -> advanced -> software updates uncheck the box of Firefox, problem solved :)
