Why is Linux THE FASTEST operating system today?

,----[ Quote ]
| Now that I mentioned supercomputers at the time of this writing the worlds 
| fastest supercomputer runs Linux. In fact most of them run Linux as you will 
| see here in the list of the top 500 supercomputers. Out of all of the 
| operating systems on these supercomputers Linux is a whopping 87.8% with 
| windows only (giggle) 1% as can be seen here. The current worlds fastest 
| supercomputer runs..... Redhat Linux and Fedora. The exact same ones you can 
| download and install on your personal computer.

Microsoft may have usability problems. When will it be "The Year of Windows" on
HPC? Is it here yet? Is Windows ready for HPC (for novice users)?

| The latest list indicates growing Linux dominance. Linux is used in the top
| nine supercomputer systems in the world. When considered as the primary OS or
| part of a mixed-OS supersystem, Linux is now present in 469 of the
| supercomputer sites, 93.8% of the Top500 list.
