[Beowulf] MS HPC... Oh dear...

[SIM DOG]

G'day all

Sorry if this turns out to be a dupe post but MS has just released their 
HPC clustering kit.

While I've tried to approach this with an open mind... it didn't last 
long. I'll refer anyone to ClusterMonkey's article about why Linux is a 
better platform for clustering.

Maybe the equiv MS site should be called ClusterMoney? =)

Whatever you do, don't read this article as the level of marketing-speak 
and Ra Ra may well impede synapses firing... Cue the quote from every 
CSI episode: "You just don't get it do you?!"
