Chump change! NASA's building an SGI 10,240 CPU Linux cluster. Don't recall
the cpus, probably Intels.
Let's see M$ build a Windows cluster that size that doesn't take out a small
city with it when it crashes.
Oh wait... M$ Windows doesn't cluster. ;')

IBM announced that they will be building a supercomputer for the Army, that
will have 2,300 AMD 64 bit processors and run linux, making it the biggest
Linux based supercomputer in the world (distributed computing projects
aside?)
