Hi,
About 1,5 years ago, I launched the idea that WGC should initiate a collaboration with Microsoft, in order to exsamine the possibility to implement the agent in MS`s operating systems. The forum participants then felt the idea was great, but not realistic. Now, with the implementation of the Stanford grid-client in Sonys PS3, this idea should be given new attention. Just try to imagine the effect this would have on the grid - it would be breathtaking. It certainly would add even more value to MS engagement in the challenges of the world community. Technically, the agent could be implemented as a part of Windows Update, in addition to being bundeled with new Vista installations. Hopefully, someone would soon realice that this is THEwin-win issue. Yours sincerely, Haavar Knutsen, Norway |
