RSSMicrosoft Cluster Server Goes Gold
By Nate Mook | Published June 9, 2006, 12:13 PM
Microsoft on Friday released to manufacturing Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, which is designed to run high-performance computing applications in parallel with other systems. The new product is Microsoft's first offering in a space largely dominated by UNIX and Linux.
The operating system has already been tested for oil and gas reservoir simulation, simulating enzyme catalysis and protein folding, and by car companies, Microsoft says. The company claims the falling cost of high-performance computing is helping to boost the market, which grew by 24 percent in 2005. Compute Cluster Server 2003 will cost $499 USD per node, and will be available to customers in August. Evaluation editions are available now.
How about they fix XP to work like Gold with a single computer? lol

|Because each customers definition of "Gold" is different, and because we are not talking about XP here.

|How about you read the article and realize that we arent discussing windows xp here. Windows 2003 and windows xp are two totally different product lines and this product is designed to do something not possible in WinXP.

|Yeah, I find the more 'M$' and 'Micro(poor attempt at wit)' the less the post has to offer. If I see more than one, I usually don't bother reading the post at all.

|You seem to think that all of these stolen laptops or stolen disks are MS's fault huh? That, just because the corp was running windows when the disk/laptop was stolen, that microsoft is inherently responsible. Wow, get a clue man

|Wasn't implying it was. Take care in jumping to conclusions "bro"...because I am the kinda guy that wishes he had the money to have enough computers and money to play around with a cluster of my own.
