Aside from the fact that this "article" is in fact just a fact sheet on the Microsoft website, and the summary is just a straight copy-paste from the first paragraph of said fact sheet, is anybody else severely underimpressed with this? I mean, OS X has Xgrid (and has for a -long- time). Many high-demand apps have built-in support for parallel operation (distcc, almost every 3d rendering app). What this seems to offer (after trudging through the marketspeak) is integration with Visual Studio, which I thought already had support for parallel compilation. Thus, I am led to believe that this allows one to develop clustering apps using Visual Studio, which is not exactly the most amazing development in the world of Windows-based software ever. A thoroughly boring "article".
