Microsoft supercomputers
Well it took them long enough to get around to it but they finally have. I wonder how much of an impact on the market it will really have. The cool thing about using Linux is that you can customize it to do whatever you want. I doubt MS will have that feature available. Info is very scarce so far on the topic. I think Solaris has a better chance in the market of clustering than MS does. Research costs are high enough already, why would anyone want to increase those costs further without a high level of customization available? I see it as an attempt to generate revenue but a little too late. MS got complacent and has not really made any advances in the market in over a decade. Same old boring stuff while silently the developers elsewhere have been working on cutting edge stuff like looking glass and Firefox. Once Mozillas project Lightening becomes a reality there will be a tough competitor to Outlook. Too little too late MS.
