GNU/Linux Just Became Topper

| Yes, as this shows, GNU/Linux is just as dominant in 
| the supercomputing world as Windows is on PCs. 
| However, unlike Windows on the desktop, which is 
| slowly losing market share (not much, but a little), 
| GNU/Linux is actually *gaining*: six months ago it had 
| 88.60%. Windows, by contrast, remains stuck at a 
| rather pathetic 1% - that's just five machines in the 
| top 500.

Lack of Innovation a Commonality for Microsoft, Apple

,----[ Quote ]
| Where did Windows come from? Put very simply, Bill 
| Gates couldn't be bothered to write his own operating 
| system for the IBM PC, so he bought the rights to QDOS 
| from Seattle Computer Products instead. Then he got 
| the idea for Windows from Apple, and Microsoft's 
| latest innovation is, apparently, the 20 year old sudo 
| concept.

| [...]
| 
| It's no surprise then that of the world's most 
| powerful computers included in the latest Top 500 
| Supercomputing list, just under 90 percent run Linux. 
| The number of Windows and OS X machines in the list 
| can be counted on one hand.
