Microsoft Releases Computational Cluster Technical Preview Toolkit

[Erik Mintz]

I think it is funny that M$ uses "Until recently, most clustered computers ran UNIX" in their plug. As if UNIX is something bad.
Mysterious voodoo perhaps.
"the de facto industry-standard operating system." --Are you kidding me?

from http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS2000/hpc/indstand.asp

"Until recently, most clustered computers ran UNIX or proprietary
operating systems on proprietary hardware. Microsoft changed all
that with Windows® 2000, the de facto industry-standard operating
system. Now anyone with massive computing needs can create
clusters using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) PCs and a shrink-wrapped
version of Windows 2000. "

I don't know about the rest of you but this makes me laugh.
