Are there any large companies donating their idle workstation CPU/gpu resources to WCG projects?

I am interested if there are any "whole company" volunteers or if WCG is powered only by "1 person desktops".

Yes, not surprisingly IBM is one such company.

Where has WCG hidden the partner program that boasted a showcase listing of 300+ partners?

When Sony made laptops, they installed the WCG software on them and Team Sony was one of the top teams.

We run it on every workstation, a few remaining physical servers that aren't being virtual hosts and some old laptops that are obsolete.
