Hey, tastewar! Here’s proof that I was playing around with Microsoft Cluster Service — on Windows 2003! — years before we had to make it work. Not that the alleged customer demand for supporting the feature was ever really there.

Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) was a good idea, but performed poorly in practice.
I can remember visiting Data General with Bert and Steve and seeing their “Cluster In A Box” back when we were on Windows NT 4. Clustering was the impetus for “weak sequence” of course… 😉 I know we tested some things back then; I don’t recall exactly why we didn’t go forward with it. Might be that we tested with “immediate write mode” (also implemented for clustering) and found that the performance wasn’t going to cut it.
