Anyone ever take part in anything like this?

The Grid MP Global @ grid.org is a virtual supercomputer that can be harnessed to power computational research and analysis projects on a massive scale. By combining millions of online CPUs worldwide to work on extremely large computational projects, problems can be solved more quickly and less expensively than by conventional methods. Now any networked computer can help fuel research and projects that previously may have required a bank of supercomputers or a hundred years to complete.

You download a program that works as your screensaver & sends its results back to a central machine, so each PC is chewing on a tiny piece of a big problem. I just wondered if anyone had any problems doing it -- machine locking up, does it gather any personal data, etc?
