    But, surely Windows is the wrong OS?

    Windows is a per-user GUI… supercomputing is all about crunching numbers, isn’t it?

    I can understand M$ trying to get into this market and I know Windows server can be used to run stuff, but again, you don’t need a GUI on each node a supercomputer they’d be better off with DOS…?

      I could see the NT kernel being okay in isolation, but the rest of Windows coming along for the ride puts the kibosh on that idea.
