There’s news that the London Stock Exchange plans to move to GNU/Linux within 12 months. There is also a story on Groklaw about GNU/Linux meeting the needs of Intel better than that other OS ten years ago. GNU/Linux is a great OS.
The recent LSE move includes the purchase of a MilleniumIT from Sri Lanka. They are hiring staff with C++ experience now. The goal is millisecond transaction time with superior reliability. The cost of buying the company was much less than the cost of an upgrade made recently, and the hours of downtime they have had recently.
