A startup on Tuesday unveiled plans at the Apple Expo here to build a distributed supercomputer cluster that could use some thousands of Apple's Xserve servers. The high-performance network will be installed along Europe's internet backbone, startup Omneta said.

And that's on the same hardware. Anybody who wants to run a supercomputer, or something with any sort of performance, needs a cat scan if they choose OS X.
and how does this report extropolate to a clustered super computer? running mysql is a little different than running a supercomputer. but no, your right. i am sure the EU guys did not do any research into which hardware/OS is best for there needs. what they should have done is posted a question on Slashdot/OSNews "what should i use to built a supercomputer?". because that's where the real research and intelligence is at.
