Hi.

I've been away from the whole BOINC-client-thing for years now and have just returned to ask this:

Is the BOINC client still the most used client to excercise grid-computing / mass-research capablities or have new clients arisen over the last few years to challenge it?

Cheers.

LOL and you ask this on the BOINC forums, why? What would our answer be, if in competition? ;-)

Kidding aside, I haven't heard of any others than Folding@Home. But I may not be as informed as others.

Fair point, however I am curious about BOINC's competition and alternative research clients. :P
