yes...

Others are catching up. Tru64 is the first Unix to
have a true cluster common filesytem and now supports
8 nodes in a cluster. Sun seems to be in bed with
Veritas for their filesystem and promises an improved
SunCluster soon (if not already out). Windows 2000.
Getting there. Still failover last I heard.

But my point about 8 year lead is Galaxy is the cat's
meow. The shared disk paradigm got a tweek and became
a shared memory paradigm and are just on the edge of
releasing grand features that will be a long time in
being matched by other OSes. Tremendously difficult
to tweek a kernel to do these things. Requires
"brain surgery" as one of the patent holders described
it.. i.e. 95% of the code was already in VMS but the
addition and verification of the other 5% took over
2 years (I believe)...

But much more to come.
