Ken -
I am sure that the WinTel platform under NT(?) will be able to accomplish that

Tandem demonstrated a 16 node NT cluster using CPQ 4-way machines in May of 1996. SCO announced products using Tandem's technology which give the same performance in Intel-architecture boxes using Unix. So technically it can be done. I don't expect MSFT to develop a similar capability themselves any time in the next few years, but they will get there eventually.
