Many have already switched, as evidenced by the multitude of threads started about this one topic.

It could also be because Linux is 64-bit, while Windows is, most likely, 32-bit. Bigger is not better if the LHC Linux client is optimized for 32-bit (it'd have to use emulation).

It's not I who wants to run LHC@Home, it's CERN that wants me to run it. If they don't want me to run it for the time being, that's fine by me. BOINC will retry every few days to check to see if they value my contributions. The great thing about BOINC is that it'll run other projects in the meantime.

Wrong. It works with SETI and Einstein, which I assume both still work with 4.x clients. So, it seems that 5.x server is compatible with 4.x clients.

By the way, if you had read the LHC@home description (last paragraph) before posting here, you'd know that there isn't always going to to be a constant stream of work. That's the beauty of BOINC. You can join many projects that run when the other projects don't have any work.

That is only true if the primary project does not have a lot of "out of work" time. This project explicitly states that the goal is to run out of work units as fast as possible. So, I would assume that there would be work units for a few days and then wait a week till the next set of work units.

Well, you can get it to be 99% :)

Sorry, really I guess the main thing making read vs. unread threads look different. It wouldn't have to be that major, just a cookie and a session that records that last time you visited.

I do it for the science and the community (these forums). On that note, BOINC forums need lots of work before they become as good as phpBB.

According to this page: http://athome.web.cern.ch/athome/LHCathome/whatis.html

Sixtrack work units are produced when there is a change to the LHC, not constantly. The point is to have the work units depleted as quick as possible. Of course,this means that you should enroll in at least one additional BOINC project.
