Here is a question that everyone can vote on. What do you think is the most stable (reliable for uptime and few problems with work units) team project. The project must support, Mac, Windows and Linux.
[list=1][*]SETI BOINC - (Seti classic will disappear soon).[*]Predictor@home[*]Climate Prediction[*]Einstein@home[*]RC5[*]Folding@home[*]Other (Name the project)[/list=1]

A no-brainer for me. After a lot of different projects, folding@home wins hands down. Now to be fair, I have not tried them all, but of the ones that I have tried, it is the best. I have some clients still running v3 software, more running v4 and all of the ones that I touch regularly are running v5.02. They all still turn in work units!

Best. Fold@home- works well on all computers I installed it on (bar one NT4 box were it refueses to start and ask for a something 32.dll )
Good. SETI classic and Ubero
Really bad: D2OL any system or java update would break the app...

heh, I was going to throw in a vote for ClimatePrediction, but the server's been down all weekend. Had 3 OS X Macs running that, but moved them back to S@H Classic. Good thing I guess, I'd like to break 10,000 before the demise of the Classic client, and this puts all my Macs back on SETI.
Hey Shaktai - how's Einstein looking? I never got any units, so I quit trying.

Except for the periods of upgrades, they have been fairly stable. Still some work unit errors, but seem to be mostly on Windows. The project team is a pretty good bunch of folks. I suspect that once BOINC itself stabilizes, you'll see all the BOINC based projects settle down some. Einstein does load the CPU pretty good, and it favors short pipelines more then long pipelines with big caches. AMD's really shine, and Macs do pretty well.
Haven't had any more problems getting work. They seem to be pumping a steady supply now days.

RC-5 stats & WU servers haven't broke in some months, now. I've got it as a start-up item on several machines, and just ignore it most days.
