wow, grasshopper, your google-fu these days is weak!

for instance:

fair use quote:
----------
September 8th 2008 was one of the worst days ever for the London Stock 
Exchange (LSE), and high-end Windows server-based applications. That 
was the day that the LSE came to a crashing stop. What happened? While 
the LSE has never come clean on the whole story, my sources told me 
that the LSE's Windows-based .NET TradElec stock exchange had crashed. 
What we do know is that the CEO who had brought Windows and TradElec 
in was fired, TradElec was dumped, and a Novell SUSE Linux-based 
platform was brought in to replace it.

Today, February 14th, the LSE's Linux-based Millennium Exchange took 
over and everything just worked. It did take longer to switch to Linux 
than expected, because of what the LSW first called "sabotage" but 
later put down to "human error" in late 2010. On its first day, out 
LSE ran like a charm.
