Imagen if all that computer power was put to use such as finding the cure of HIV.... We would be done by lunch time.
If anyone wants to contribute to computer research on HIV with their own systems then there is a World Community Grid project called Fight Aids At home (FAAH) that uses your computer's spare cycles to work on AIDS research, using the BOINC platform.
There are versions for Windows, Apple, Linux, and Android software.
