Hail Gamers!

ok... the "experts" seem to agree that games in general will not be 
affected by this bug.... but what about other stuff?  Most of us *do* use 
the computer at home for other things, even if 'tis only 5% of the time :)

1.  will it affect statistical analyses using programs like SPSS?

2.  I've heard that it affects popular spreadsheets like 123 and Excel, 
is this true?

3.  someone said Falcon uses FPU.... so anything happened to it?
