| The teams - University of Colorado (Aspen Systems), Indiana University 
| (Apple), University of Alberta (SGI), Purdue University (HP), National Tsing 
| Hua University (Taiwan) (ASUS), and Stony Brook University (Dell) - came up 
| with somewhat similar designs. For example, five of the teams crafted boxes 
| with Xeon chips and five ran versions of the Linux operating system.

| (0.4%) make the list, but Linux is alone at the top, where it is used in 459 
| systems or 91.8% of the top supercomputer systems.

Linux gains despite and because of Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite the heightened competition over the last two quarters from 
| Microsoft-Novell and a move by Oracle to undercut Red Hat on the cost of Red 
| Hat Linux support service, Red Hat has reported double-digit growth in 
| revenue and an increase in profit.   
| 
| “The success of Red Hat has been able to validate the future potential for 
| open source software,” Szulik says. 
| 
| Emerging countries are also lucrative markets for Linux, says IDC’s Gillen, 
| because there isn’t as much of the legacy Windows technology to have to 
| displace.
