Well, there really is only one OS that scales, and that is linux. It runs the fastest computers (IBM's blue gene et. al) and it runs the smallest computers. Debian runs on at least eight supported architectures, OS X and Windows 7 / Vista only run on Intel architectures. So linux scales broadly and vertically.
