If microsoft doesn't price their server/cluster stuff too expensive then
in X years from
now they'll dominate the highend market. Microsoft always has just taken
markets by
storming in giving away copies of their software for near free initially.
Competition is hardly possible against that from software viewpoint.
Yea, we all remember the astounding success of Warewulf. Just how often
did those free dual boot machines actually boot M$?
I can see the point that instrument manufacturers may use this. They
already often use MS for their control systems in the Life Sciences.
Luckily, the nmr's, and x-ray machines don't.
