I see BOINC 4.09 is out, a must for windows 9x users, what about
2K/XP? Can I just upgrade over the top of 4.05 without losing WUs
etc?

That is what most people should do. Just stop processing units,
finish the one you are on if you don't want to start over on it,

huh? since when does BOINC decide to start over on a WU?
unless the app (SAH) version changes, I see no need for that.

I installed 4.09 on three of my machines. All were part way through on
a WU.  I suspended operation, installed 4.09 right over the earlier
version, reattached to the project and all three appeared to start
back in on the WU where the previous version had left off.  They did
not start over at the beginning.

So BOINC 4.09 continues to use the setiathome 4.03 exe?
