Have Your Operating Systems Ask Users to Selected a Distributed Computing Project

Every operating system should ask users to select a distributed computing project during the installation process. OS vendors could recommend a default project for users who don't wish to research the choices available to them, poll system hardware to recommend projects that the user's computer would be most useful to, or simply allow the user to opt out or decide at a later date. At least everyone would be forced to think about it, and global participation in distributed computing projects would explode! The vast unused processing power of the world's computers could solve the mathematical mysteries of the universe, cure diseases, and maybe even discover life on other planets!
