Microsoft just released Windows HPC Server 2008, with support for thousands of processors. A NYTimes article takes a closer look at Microsoft's ambitions in supercomputing, and current trends in the HPC field, where Microsoft has almost no current presence. Microsoft's strategy is probably a recognition that with the price of high-powered hardware decreasing, many new companies and organizations are finding application for high-powered systems, and they hope to be able to take a portion of that new business using people's familiarity with the Windows brand as a foot in the door.

Sigh take your anti-Microsoft glasses off and feel the sun for while. High Productivity Computing isn't new term, in fact it wasn't even invented by Microsoft. DARPA even has competition that tries to find High Productivity Computing Solution for goverment!
