Novell recently bragged about SUSE's presence in supercomputers, but Novell also offers an adoption ramp for Microsoft Windows in supercomputers. This should hardly be surprising given that the company's CEO recently said: "our partnership with Microsoft continues to expand."
The story we refer to here is about dual-booting SUSE with Windows. In the news we now find this.
Windows dual boots its way onto a Linux stage
Windows may never boot Linux from its dominant role in high performance computing, but Microsoft's dual-boot strategy is making some inroads. IBM says it has built what may be the largest Windows/Linux HPC dual-boot system yet for a university research group in Sweden.

My bet it was sponsored by MS in the hope of getting windows in the top-50 list (from what I can tell, windows' highest is 106 in the current top 500).
