Via Enigma Foundry, here's a nice chart breaking down supercomputer use by operating system.
It's the way forward, people. I notice that 8.4% of readers already use Linux.
This would be kind of cool, were it not for the fact that I suspect at least half of that is me.
Update: Of course if you break it down by Browser, we're mad, bad, and open source.
61% of us, anyway.

good to see all the big computers using a decent OS - is this because the windows super computers keep on crashing?
on a less facetious note, nasa recently open sourced the software for keeping tracks of faults in the space shuttle. the bill went from $1 million for proprietary software, down to about $100,000. and it should work properly now too.....
