Answer 1

It is specific for the software. I don't know any way to make regular single-workstation program to benefit from distributed processing  configuration

Answer 2

Windows is not designed for computer clustering and distributed processing. There is no way you can configure windows to do this.

Linux can be and is used to create multi-machine clusters. The problem is that the applications must also be written to take advantage of the power. For the average user and program, it's cheaper and easier to buy a new, more powerful box.
