Linux Is Faster Than Windows
http://blogs.computerworld.com/the_worlds_fastest_computers_are_linux_computers
Linux is better than Windows, and here is some more proof:
As Jay Lyman, an analyst at The 451 Group points out, Linux is only growing stronger in supercomputing. “When considered as the primary OS or part of a mixed-OS supersystem, Linux is now present in 469 of the supercomputer sites, 93.8% of the Top500 list. This represents about 10 more sites than in November 2007, when Linux had presence in 91.8% of the systems. In fact, Linux is the only operating system that managed gains in the November 2008 list. A year ago, Linux was the OS for 84.6% of the top supercomputers. In November 2008, the open source OS was used in 87.8% of the systems. Compare this to Unix, which dropped from 6% to 4.6%, mixed-OS use which dropped from 7.2% to 6.2% and other operating systems, including BSD, Mac OS X and Windows, which were all down this year from the November 2007 list.”
So basically 93.8% of the computers that matter, run Linux. So no, I don’t care about your stupid desktop running Windows 7 because you need DirectX and ActiveX to run your shitty games. The computers that rule the world run Linux.
Actually there is a joke there too. Bbotnets, which also run the world, run as daemons in a root kit, installed on crappy windows desktops.

GPUs are growing yes. However, they are just now getting into servers. Meanwhile, CPUs have been there since the dinosaurs went extinct. And by the time the GPU powered servers are out, CPUs will have the upper hand again.
Like I said, CPUs have, and will always be better for general purpose computing. GPUs are far better for other things, like rendering and whatnot. Also, before you throw out the cores thing, cores mean absolute shit.

ContributorNetwork – Computer software models running on super computers are the basis for estimates of humankind’s contribution to global warming and climate change. This week NASA announced new evidence, with data gathered by the Terra satellite, that these models and the global warming forecasts they make are wrong. The projections vastly overestimate the impact of humanity’s carbon footprint and its effect on climate.
