CP/M could be a pretty powerful OS if it ran on enough nodes :-) and of course I think of XP as CP/M v.99 (approximately) (although that isn't fair to VMS, the forebear of NT) Peter On 6/24/08, Kozin, I (Igor) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > In fact, the world's largest software company currently employs > hundreds of > > engineers whose sole job it is to conceptualize and develop new > products for > > the burgeoning HPC market > > > Oh, really?
