While I don't think BOINC is crap, it does have issues and they're not being resolved in a timely manner. I'm using Vista and I still have an issue where BOINC does not release memory when it's idle like it should.

Hmmmmmm...... I suspect that Microsoft is not "releasing" much
source code from Vista.  Until they do, it is very hard to
write 3rd party programs to run perfectly.  BOINC is run mostly
on volunteers and donations so some Vista users might have to wait
a bit for perfection to come around.

I'll stick with XP Home until the Vista BOINC issues are fixed.
I am in no hurry to upgrade.  BOINC runs perfectly on my machine,
but rosetta acts up once a week, but the other projects are all
humming along.....
