Thank you!

We would like to thank all that participated in our @Home with Windows Azure effort!

You have lit up New Zealand with entries, from Little Barrier Island in the north to Dunedin in the south. Together we have and still are carrying out many hours of compute intense protein folding simulations, contributing considerably to the Stanford University effort.
