I run it on my WinXP machines and (knock on wood) haven't had any
incidents. If you or someone else creates a port, it'll find a home on
my machines, as they sit around doing absolutely nothing practically
24/7, and I think contributing to the science projects represented is a
worthwhile goal. Does my answer work for other folks? Probably not.
Some will be bound by policies forbidding it even if they wanted.
Others may consider the risk too great. It's up to them whether or not
to trust BOINC and the port.
