The thought of a stock exchange running on Windows is scary in and of itself. And I’m a windows user!

Good to know they won’t be getting the “Blue Stock Exchange of Death” screen on their trading workstations anymore...

I wonder if the kernel is One from Linus Torvalds...or one from BSD?

Or if Canonical , Red Hat,, Novell are providing any support...or could be IBM...

Would be interesting to have some underlying detail...

I used AIX, Solaris, a couple of Linux builds, and HPUX for years (though thankfully not for the last 3 yrs). All tend to be MUCH more stable than Windows of any flavor. However, if anyone believes Unix/Linux systems don’t crash, they obviously don’t know much about operating systems. I’ve had some really nasty, time consuming, application killing Unix/Linux-based system crashes.

Our company is looking at options for replacing our current software package and anything we look at has to run on a UNIX variant. If all you have is Windows based, it is a non-starter. PERIOD!

England has gone Islamic, too, so what’s the point?
