Where the hell do you get your information? Linux FUDster Magazine?
Q: Is there a maximum number of compute nodes that I can configure in a cluster based on Windows Computer Cluster Server 2003?
A: There is no limit to the number of nodes in a Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 cluster except for the number of hardware systems and node interconnects available, and the demands placed on the infrastructure by the applications running across the nodes.

I don't think the poster is a linux user, considering his statements. He appears to be a Mac user, unless of course he's actually trying to bring Mac users in discredit. This is not entirely unlikely IMO.
[edit: added 'think' in first line.]

Yeah, I'd say you're right.
In any case, he's an effing moron. He continues to claim that WCCS2003 has a limit of 8 nodes, even provided the link to the FAQ.

So while X-grid can be used on every machine in the office at night Windows Cumpute cluster requires a dedicated hardware and separate copies of the OS bumping up the price tremendously. OS X allow existing hardware to be gateway server used at no additional cost, creating a render farm at night for projects, with hardware you already have.
Q. Is licensing different for Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003?
A.Licensing for Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 will be restricted to computers that are used as dedicated computational servers only. Customers wishing to use compute nodes for other purposes (for example, using a cluster head node as a database server) should purchase the appropriate version of Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions (Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter) for installation on those nodes. The cluster management components encapsulated in the Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack support installation on all editions of Windows Server 2003 x64.

I'm not comparing licensing costs or office-use capabilities. Yeah, OS X has X-grid in the client versions of their OSes, but WCCS2003 is not a client OS for office workers. It's for datacenters and businesses wishing to do heavy-duty cluster computing where there are >8 nodes.
You're comparing apples could not connect to server project to oranges. Hell, this should not have even been a reply to my statement. I was save sandbox on demo server only correcting a clueless troll about what WCCS2003 can/can't do.

Dear Friend You msi k7n2 delta-ilsr server review seem unable to read my previous posts.
Windows Computer Cluster Server 2003 that you appreciate is not a product yet, I meant windows server 2003 Enterprise and DataCenter versions, those two support only 8 nodes; and by the way these nodes are mainly designed for redundancy purposes not performance unless of course you choose load balancing with web services. Clustering with OSX improve performance for all kind of messenger server fails to start applications not just web services and on all kinds of OSX computers, Can windows do this NOW?! Notice NOW

Dear Friend,
This is what you said -- "Well the recently announced grid computing from MS is ot server pathetic, it just supports 8 nodes while OSX grids support thousands of nodes.".
The "recently canape server announced grid computing" from Microsoft is Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. Dear friend, you lose.
Sincerely,
Someone who read their FAQ
PS: Clustering with OS X will automatically improve performance for iTunes encoding? Photoshop filter rendering? iMovie processing? If not, specify what you mean by "all kinds of applications".
PPS: WCCS2003 is basically MPI + Windows. MPI-aware applications will take advantage of your Windows cluster.
