The London Stock Exchange moves to Novell Linux

[Basil Chupin]

September 8th 2008 was one of the worst days ever for the London Stock 
Exchange (LSE) <http://www.londonstockexchange.com/home/homepage.htm>, 
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 
<http://practical-tech.com/infrastructure/london-stock-exchange-suffers-net-crash/722/>. 
What we do know is that the CEO who had brought Windows and TradElec in 
was fired 
<http://blogs.computerworld.com/london_stock_exchange_to_abandon_failed_windows_platform>, 
TradElec was dumped, and a Novell SUSE Linux 
<http://blogs.computerworld.com/london_stock_exchange_to_abandon_failed_windows_platform>-based 
platform was brought in to replace it.
