In this case it was the benchmark software that was buggy, not the OS.

Yeah that's right, the LINPACK benchmark software that Microsoft strangely got to rewrite themselves. Yep that's apparently where the bug was.

I wonder why MS was given the task of rewriting the benchmark in the first place. I guess it will always be a mystery... oh hold on, no wait... "It should be noted that Microsoft has helped fund the Tokyo Institute of Technology's supercomputing programs." Guess it helps to read the sentences they stick near the end of unrelated paragraphs at the end of the articles.
