Grid Computing Projects
While doing some research for my Computer Architecture class I came across this article 12 cool ways to donate your PC's spare processing power. Some pretty interesting projects here especially Enigma@home and the IBM World Community Grid.

Windows 7...so far so good
Got a copy of Windows 7 Professional through the MSDN AA at my school. Turns out the image was bad....spent a day or so messing with that. After a couple of tries I was able to torrent one, use my student key, and get it up and running with little effort. I've been enjoying 7 quite a bit, some really great new features. My favorite so far is how Windows Media Player picked up my SimpleCenter installation and was able to instantly stream my movies without needing any additional codecs WOW! Aero looks great and operates smoothly and the new search seems like it will save some time. This OS has me so inspired I'm gonna give Security Essentials a try....lol I may live to regret that. Anyway 7 is worth a try, been good to me so far....thank you Microsoft for pulling it together.
