Google's partnership with Folding@Home

Am I the only one who thinks that this partnership will help DC projects in general? Google did the right thing in my opinion. This isn't some spyware application. They aren't following the Kazaa example by any means. Positive distributed computing applications need to be advertised and implemented heavily because it benefits everyone if a cure is found. This one by Google is a postive project. Kazaa's project is a totally for profit project and provides no benefit to the human race as a whole.

I hope this also raises the awareness of DC programs in general.
