I am running Boinc. And I have a few questions.

1) How many people are running Boinc?
About 14,400 people have signed up but only a few thousand are
actually crunching

2) What do you think of Boinc?
I think it will offer more possiblities of finding life

3) I know Boinc will help the seti@home but what will it exactly do for 
seti@home?

I like Boinc I think. Because I have lost 2 WU for no reason. That made 
me mad so I have not fully got an answer yet.
Losing units or whatever is common in Beta tests. Try using the latest
and greatest Beta of Windows XP, Longhorn!
It can be PATHETIC! It DOES have some good qualities though. It is
still about 2 years away from release. MS is "thinking" 2006 for the
release date.
Back to Boinc, go to the web site http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu
and look under the message boards and you will see some of these
questions answered.
