Best Answer

Windows XP is actually very poorly suited for most forms of distributed computing, except for grid computing where tasks can be performed asynchronously on uncoupled machines. Windows XP doesn't support more than four cores or two physical processors, making it unideal for large multithreaded tasks. No version has ever been released that would be able to effectively operate in a cluster, either. Linux, Mac OS X (with XGrid) or Windows HPC 2008 would be much better suited to those tasks.
