1) I don't like the name (ok that is just personal.) When I hover the mouse
over the tray icon it says "BOINC"...it would be nice to see more
information there
2) I think the current GUI is also pretty sparce, and boring.
3) I have only been successful twice in getting any data to process. 95% of
the time I am getting:
"No work from Project", "Deferring communication with project for X hours, X
minutes, and X seconds".
4) It sucks that none of the old 3rd party tools will work. For example I
would like to see the status of computer running seti from *one* computer.
5) I think BOINC should still be very much considered beta, or at least from
my perspective 95% non-functional.
At least they have the classic still going.
I am now considering whether or not I want to continue to participate. I
just have a bad taste in my mouth after this BOINC stuff...
