I'm tired of not knowing/understanding what is going on. I don't like the way Boinc takes over half of my processing cycles, even when I'm trying to do other work. The old SETI software gave good, clear feedback and quietly retreated into the background when I was busy using the processor.

I have removed all traces of Boinc from my computer. I can only hope that, someday, SETI will once again produce a functional interface. I have enjoyed the many hours of results from the old program.

Until then, I don't want Boinc on my machine.

BOINC Wiki

Funny that people think SETI@Home Classic "gave" the CPU back when they're using their computer but think BOINC doesn't. No software has control over this as it is a function of the OS and it's prioritizing - and it's purely a false psychological perception that BOINC doesn't give the CPU back thanks to software like TaskManager of which there was no real equivalent built into the OS when SETI@Home Classic was prevalent, i.e. Windows 95/98. People see 100% in task manager and think that it refuses to give it back when they need it.

Funny thing is, SETI classic worked the same way as BOINC but BOINC actually "gives back" the CPU in better fashion since Windows 2k/XP have better prioritizing of tasks.

I with people would actually ask questions if they don't know what's going on instead of getting all frustrated and simply removing the software without actually doing any research fist to see if it's normal operation or their own misperception.
