Windows Server 2008 Feature Request

i posted feature request for windows server 2008 @ microsoft connect, thought i'd post in forum too. windows server 2008 should support 5 cpus on 1 motherboard. think supports 2 cpus. large websites have cluster of servers because 1 dedicated server not powerful enough handle millions of users online @ same time. cluster of servers group of dedicated servers working one. if windows server 2008 supported motherboards 5 cpus people large websites not need servers keep costs down. , motherboard manufacturers don't make motherboards support 5 cpus because windows doesn't support many cpus on 1 motherboard.
