Great to hear. Onenoter as well, and suppose OneDrive will be working too without a hitch... after all not taking care of their cash cow products in this upgrade would be self-destructive.

Thanks to deltavee, Sek and the others who replied. My old system was WinXP, but the video has died and it's not worthwhile to fix it. So a new Win lappie it will be. Now just got to choose which one ...

Tony, update to the latest BOINC version to fix the OS Identification :)

The benchmark does not test WCG lest you meant workunit testing, it runs a standard routine of 30 seconds at the same priority as a science app. If yours is higher now, just means nada else was running on that computer at time of testing. Rinse, repeat whilst you've got a streaming video running. If your Dhrystone was that much higher it kind of suggests what has been written about... MS been borrowing from Linux [of course in that direction they don't pay for licensing, the yours is mine and hands off mine or we make you pay] It will be interesting when the Linux phone catches on, if MS is going after Canonical. The Whetstone, also mentioned in that wiki link, is the FP test part.

The benchmarks may be bloated or understated as much as we want [compile yourself and turn it a 10x multiplicator], they're only an insignificant part of the credit [points] award calculation... the highest weight is on how fast a device processes a task relative to other cruncher, the whole system going completely soft-kneed [that's but an r short of tech who would do something about it] when there's variable runtime, which would then lead to that straight line path of beating the decomposed remains of the dead horse. Even vultures just fly on. I've set <skip_cpu_benchmarks> tag a long long time ago as default in my cc_config.xml... it blocks the test, a waste of CPU/crunching time.[/ot]
