What I hope is that Clusters are run by people who used supercomputers
before, people who are used to type in commands instead of clicking some
fancy pictures and losing system resources for useless animated icons.
That might help more than to trust in MS being not able to take over a
market where Beowulfs are "thick on the ground". After all - Mozilla
thought similar things about the browser market, didn't they?
