In my personal pc i installed it already with no hesitating, but in my work pc i have a little doubt.
Is there a list of known company, universities that publish on their website or in any official way that they trust it and they even install it on "their work computer"? Is there any security company that publish an article about it and actually say that it's secure for install it on any computer with any data on it? Found this: Sony HTC Westminister But it's not good enough. I would like to know if IBM is install it on their company computer. If the did i would like to read about it, and if they don't i would like to know why. The bottom line is: i want to see a famous company that actually trust it with their personal work computers. P.S I saw that there is a team under the name IBM etc in WCG, but it doesn't mean anything for that matter. I'm looking for something officially. Thank you |

I saw that there is a team under the name IBM etc in WCG, but it doesn't mean anything for that matter. Also try reading the "About " section that explains it's mission and "IBM" participation. As for more "something officially", just google "World Community Grid"... there is plenty to pick from.I'm looking for something officially. CJSL Crunching for a better world... |
