MS isn't famous for new development (as scientists see "new
development") but a few hundred engineers would not be such a big
investment for them.<br>

I'd be more interested in a comparison of that many whatever, quad core
xeon? running linux vs MS's running Cluster Server 2008. CP/M could be
a pretty powerful OS if it ran on enough nodes :-) and of course I
think of XP as CP/M v.99 (approximately) (although that isn't fair to
VMS, the forebear of NT)<br>

<br> <br>Oh, really? I hardly see any truth in this sentence.<br> Perhaps "the world's largest"?<br> <br><br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Beowulf mailing list, <a href="mailto:Beowulf@beowulf.org">Beowulf@beowulf.org</a><br>
