What does this have to do with FOSS? Over 75% of the top performing "supercomputers" use Linux. No Windows machines are listed at all. (If a normal computer crashes with Windows crashes regularly, imagine how quickly one that does hundreds of TeraFLOPS would crash...)

See http://www.top500.org/stats/28/osfam for a listing of the Operating Systems used on these machines.
