Oh, when did you last check?

Read for yourself and weep.
Why are the 1st and second most powerful in the top 500 supercomputers
are running linux?
IBM, SUNDIA, IBM again.. wow!
What the hell are you talking about?
Commercial purposes, and NOT technical purposes. If apple produces
supercomputers and got included at the top 500, I bet they wouldnt use
linux, they will use their flagship MacOSX.
The top 1 and 2 are run by the DOE and the DoD respectively of the US
government. If that's not for technical purposes, then I don't know
what is. And it certainly is NOT commercial purposes.
Check your facts first, and lose the anonymity cloak -- makes you look
stupid no matter how "smart" you seem.
