I think we have moved into the world of chevy vs ford vs toyota, etc. Every grid out there is saying they are the largest now, and none seem to qualify their claim other than the F@H folks like with their recent computing horsepower regarding all the PS3's out there. As for the number of "volunteers" that is only for WCG, and there are tons of other computers out there. How many of the WCG volunteers are only crunching WCG? Take a look at all the boinc projects out there and all the daily results, take a peek.... where is WCG sitting in there? How many are still with seti? So anyway it makes good reading in a newspaper, but like lots of stuff in the newspapers, the real facts usually aren't quite like the article.
