Some of the world's most powerful clusters still run SGI, Solaris, and UNIX.
But GNU/Linux is taking over. Over a year ago, Gates said he would make an
entry into this scene. Not a word since. I guess a vendor that cannot
unleash a desktop O/S (c/f Vista's 4-year delay) will find supercomputing
too hard to cope with.
