This 'news' was put out in December 2006:
----------------------------------------Planned: "- Support for multi-processor and multi-core machines - Support for cache ahead so that users can request multiple work units - Enhanced non-intrusiveness options - The possibility for members to generate their own tools, GUIs, and reports using a new Grid MP Agent API - New look and feel for the Grid MP Agent GUI - Improved support for Microsoft XP operating system – enhances support for multi-users and allows fast user switching - Support for Microsoft Vista operating system (both 32-bit and 64-bit) - Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 - Overall performance improvements to the grid - General defect repairs " Do you think it will be much better than the present one?

Hi halfcard,
----------------------------------------Been following the drum signals and seen the announced timeline. What I have not been able to discern is, if it will run on Linux / Mac. In specification it's more modern times but missing e.g. an indication of having error and message logging. Until then, WCG has a very 21st century alternate and with BOINC 5.8 Simple GUI and it's extensive specs and preference control moving to the client side from the web, I feel there is no rush at all to join the bandwagon. What UD agent does is, it locks u into a single project, I dont think we're here so closed minded or  PS, here's a page showing what platforms WCG is running on under BOINC. Sort of Vista Ready and even still fit for Win95 ;>)
WCG
