They should have went to IBM or Sun or Cray, who someone similar who had the most expertise in such things. ... All it would have taken is contract dollars.

That statement clearly shows you know nothing about Beowulf and the concepts behind it, despite me having told you more than once. Shut up on the subject and live in your ignorance.

and releasing products called "Red Storm" just to try to keep up with the free copies.

That's called "competition" in case you've never heard of it. BTW, it is highly proprietary, and runs a combination of UNICOS and Linux. As usual, what really sets Red Storm apart is the proprietary scalable system software and extremely high-speed Cray interconnect and I/O technology.

LMAO is that the best you can do? There's no reason that software couldn't have been contracted from Cray for probably less than it cost Nasa to do it internally.

So Cray has to now compete with our government, who is releasing free products that destroy their business? Yes according to you, following Stallman's plan to a T, with software taxes and credits soon to follow.
