IT Week article on HPC from interview with Michael Newberry..link here!
Some of you may have seen this article in IT Week from an interview with Michael (he's bored of me calling him Dr.)

“For the past five or six years HPC has been implemented on a Linux-based system, and the main issue with Linux is that it can be daunting to people that are unfamiliar with it,” he said. “We see the Microsoft cluster product as being incremental to the market, as opposed to being a substitution, because it gives people that already have a knowledge of the Windows system a chance to see the benefits that HPC can offer.”
