This is a great guide but it led me to think, why, over all the years, the help in the BIOS itself lack all this information.
I know about the memory problem in the BIOS itself but how much memory is needed for a normal help?
The BIOS still looks like an engineer page rather than a setup page for a normal user.
You're wrong.
Boinc is not part of World Community Grid.
As a matter of fact, it's 2 different projects. Boinc is indeed open source written by Berkely University but
World Community Grid is not.

I think It's like activating a new DVD player. For most of the people, activating new DVD player is something hard. For us (the geeks from/.) it's like "you know one you know them all".
The question is how to make people less afraid of it. At work, I am using the method of pushing them into the water. Well, some swim but some drowned...
Microsoft is (already?) dominating this market. Their next target is the cellular, TV, cables, satelites...
We are going to buy a few PDAs, in the company I'm working at. Someone came and said that he doesn't care which PDA we're going to buy, as long as it will run MS Windows.
Softwares are too complex for most of the people. They don't want to read the f* manual, and you won't change their mind, whatever you'll tell them. They too scared, hell knows from what but that's people.
They don't read their TV's manual, car's manual or whatever manual there is. They don't want any message boxes with questions or information. The first thing they'll do is to push the closest button they think fit.
In my opinion, OSs should be smart enough to answer most of the questions asked by other softwares installed. The default should be to show only the minimum required information. Microsoft has done a step forward but it would take years before operating a computer would be close to operating a television.

Anyone managed to upgrade? My last attempt to upgrade (alpha 5) was disaster and broke my machine completely.
As long as it runs on java, its not a real threat to Microsoft.
Can you confirm this data somehow?
Anyway, how do you define "hard core gamers"?
By age? By the time they spend gaming?
I guess they consider solitaire.
They were going to do that with BMW
Trying to make anticipation.
Let's see the software, install it, try it and then decide if it's a "killer app".
