<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I agree with Sean. Windows has lots of deployments in many sectors that would like to use IB. The new Holland Computing Center at UNO is supposed to be the largest Windows HPC environment with about 1151 nodes. IB is the interconnect. Also, there are many Defense initiatives looking into the use of IB for utility computing infrastructures, and there are lots of Windows connections that would have to be made. </FONT></DIV>
