MS HPC: You heard it first at WOTUG

[Denis A Nicole <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry I caused so much offence by suggesting camping; there are some 
very good Physics conferences which run that way. 

To help you all feel more mainstream, you might have seen the top article 
in "The Register" on Friday:
  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/09/microsoft_hpc_launch/

You will be glad to know that Simon Cox phoned me that afternoon to remind 
me that the "lot of the basic work" they mention was first published at 
WOTUG21: 
  Cox, S. J., Nicole, D. A. and Takeda, K. (1998) 
  "Commodity High Performance Computing at Commodity Prices".

Cheers,
