I and several of my employees were present for Bill's keynote at
SC05. Afterwards one of our boys referred to it as "Microsoft
Cluster F**K 2003"
'nuf said.
I suspect that this is going to be a typical Microsoft venture: 80%
of what you want to do is trivial using their product. 20% of what
you *need* to do will be impossible with their product, and there
will be no way to extend or override their offering to get the
functionality you require.
Nonetheless, I suspect that I will be doing a project for some
customer based on this technology at some point in the future. Sigh.
My two cents.

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?!"
