Microsoft DOES offer clustering software ...
its just that they haven't really figured out a way to license it so that it is affordable. What is really causing these huge machines to take off is their free software payload.

Look at what has trapspired over the last 20 years. Hardware performance has improved vastly while hardware cost is now a small fraction of what it once was. At the same time software capability has improved marginally, but Windows still costs almost as much as DOS did years ago. But Linux is free. Commodity hardware + commodity software = viable super computers!
