You'll probably hear more "whining" when it does, as those of us who have
held off for various reasons are forced to switch or shut down. Many people
have not converted because their systems have had problems with BOINC which
were not fixable or easily fixable at the time they tried to convert. I have
issues with connectivity at the moment that limit me to one system that can
connect; the rest of the farm has been supported via SETI Queue. There's no
equivalent for BOINC, so at best I'll go from 13 systems to one. (I've got
more, I shut down several others due to utility bills.)

                                                            It is soo 
simple... why does anyone have problems with this software??  Maybe it's 
because their 8 year-olds are smarter than themselves.

Some people will have problems because it's not possible to test every
hardware/software combination for compatibility. Clearly, some people are
running things you aren't, some of which are conflicting with installation
or operation of BOINC.

Consider yourself fortunant that you didn't run into problems.

Peace & quiet begins December 15th...  just be patient...  they'll be gone 
soon!

Certainly; it's not like they're getting any help or encouragement from you.
