Your points are well taken RD
I agree that virus scanners, BOINC client, zone alarm, concurrent processes, etc. can set up situations that can cause incompatibilities to present themselves.... However, this is a VERY different point of focus than 'stability'.
I take the an approach of demanding any software application to remain sensitive to the fact that it is their responsibility to write code robust and compatible enough to deal with a Windows environment of a working computer. merly running on a test bed as an isolated and protected application is simply not acceptable quality assurance for the real world.
I believe this is the affliction from which this project may be suffering in it's infancy. I will continue to do what I can to help it along, but the bottom line is that if they can't run on a system that is used for work beyond crunching, it isn't ready for my machines.
