    Did anyone else immediately see this as the "first clusterf*ck version of Windows"?

    Clustering was started on platforms like Sun and Linux. Yet, there is no mention of that in your posting--you talk as if it was Apple and Microsoft. Yeah, Apple has been in the news because they put themselves there.

    Cluster computing is still the domain of Linux, BSD, and Solaris, and there is no indication that that is changing at all, glitzy press releases from Apple and Microsoft notwithstanding.

  4. Re:Slashbotters and FUD - link with rank please by ad0gg · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Yeah the link to top500 is fud. Especially were it it clearly states ranking. And clearly states it is running windows.

    You maybe slow so here's another link with less text so not to confuse as much as the previous link. Reading is hard isn't it?

  5. Windows on clusters by F.Minusia · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This is terrible. Think of how we may all be spammed by those who will use it for the purpose. Windows on non-clusters may become even more unviable due to attacks originating at such clusters. So those who want to use windows may better buy such clusters to be protected from such attacks. M$ will say this later ...
