    I think it is non-profit... The World Community Grid is strictly a philanthropic project currently funded by IBM. The research results will be made freely available to the world. Check IBM's website for details... http://www.ibm.com/ibm/ibmgives/news/wcg.shtml "IBM's values state that we are committed to providing innovation that matters for our company and for the world. There is no better way for us to live those values than to join the World Computing Grid," said Stanley S. Litow, vice president of IBM Corporate Community Relations and president of the IBM International Foundation. "We're taking IBM's innovative on demand grid technology - the same technology we share with customers - and applying it to humanitarian issues about which the world cares. We look forward to working with our employees, customers and the public to execute this exciting vision."

    MiniDV can store upto 25GB of data...Microdrives are coming up with storage as high at 60GB already in commercial space(for e.g. iPOD Photo)...You had to carry 4 miniDVs...the advantage is obvious...you will have to carry only a one Microdrive. I think it is a matter of 1-2 years when HD based products will become practical and popular.
