Now, with Windows HPC running on a brand new compute cluster they're 20X more productive". No mention that almost anything running on a brand new compute cluster would blow the old approach out of the water. As with any vendor comparison, one ask for all the details, and ask more than once as even the salesman may not understand he's quoting apples and oranges.
