Microsoft finishes code for Windows HPC

Microsoft says it's finally finished coding Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, but at this point, shouldn't they call it a 2006 edition? Apparently not since it's based on Windows Server 2003 and not on Vista Server (a.k.a. Longhorn). Anyway, this will ship to general customers in August at approximately $470 per node. It requires 64-bit servers to run, but it can still execute 32-bit software.
