"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.
