I'd be more interested in a comparison of that many whatever, quad core
xeon? running linux vs MS's running Cluster Server 2008. 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)
I'm sorely tempted to try to run a cluster of OS/360 systems just to say
it has been done. Should be pretty easy using Hercules/390.
Since my boss reads this list, I'm not sure if he will be amused or
appalled at the idea. probably both.

It's what I can remember in time to use.
