Please disregard my earlier evaluation.
Validated the same on other Win-XP machines.
This time however there was no additional certificate popups.
Seems to work as indicated.
I do not have the original test machine at my disposal.
Will re-check as soon as it is available and re-check it with build 82.
Will keep this bug closed, and re-open on further verification
