Im not a miner or good at math so im not familiar with all the numbers so forgive me if im waaaay off
Redmondpie reports 700 million copies of windows 7 sold as of a year ago.
if some computers have shared cpu, and some have dedicated gpu, and say 1% of cycles redirected to hashing...
could we estimate the average hashing power per copy of windows would be 10 MH/sec?
If we redirect 1% thats reduced to .1 MH/sec.
700 million copies would be 70,000 GH/sec?
Additionally, the scandal you referenced is about software that was installed onto a windows machine, not something baked into windows itself.
if microsoft hide the code in the os, would it still be detectable, even if it stole very few unused cycles per computer?
