People are starting to think about ease of use tools and how to make HPC easier. The independant software vendors of HPC tools are definitely taking notice, you're starting to see all sorts of ease of use tools starting to pop up that weren't there a few years ago. Is this Microsoft driven or was it already happening, maybe or maybe not but I think on a whole HPC is becoming easier and this competition is good!
