An interesting sidenote: I just resigned from a position at a large Pharmaceutical company to go play on Wall Street. Their default Win2k image comes with a nice, professional-looking screen-saver that is written in Shockwave. One problem that they're now facing is grid computing: taking advantage of the spare CPU cycles of all the desktops in the organization to do useful work (business analysis, genome searching, whatever). Turns out, the screensaver causes the CPU utilization to hit 90%. Doh!
