In general, you should start a new thread rather than hijack an existing
one and changing the subject.  

As for privoxy vs. polipo, if you don't like polipo, don't install it.
Run privoxy as you did before.  The only time we force polipo is with
the Tor Browser Bundles.  A sufficiently computer savvy person can not
install polipo and configure privoxy as they had before.

You can't.  Polipo is designed for unixes, not windows.  Chrisd is
working on making polipo more windows friendly, but these changes might
not arrive until the 1.0.5 release, or later.
