I Fear Microsoft Geeks Bearing Gifts...
,----[ Quote ]
| So basically Project Trident is more Project Trojan Horse - an attempt to get
| Microsoft HPC Server cluster technologies into the scientific community
| without anyone noticing. And why might Microsoft be so keen to do that? Maybe
| something to do with the fact that Windows currently runs just 1% of the top
| 500 supercomputing sites, while GNU/Linux has over 88% share.
|
| Microsoft's approach here can be summed up as: accept our free dog biscuit,
| and be lumbered with a dog.

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.
