LondonStockExchange™

Used by freetards to show how much Windows Server sucks. Apparently according to them, Windows-using London Stock Exchange was down for over a day, which influenced their decision to move to a Linux based system.

Naturally, every time it goes down, Accenture, the company responsible for building and maintaining the software that runs the LSE, is in the middle of doing an update of some kind. If only they had apt-get, then they might be able to really mess things up.

I’m sure it has everything to do with Windows Server and nothing to do with Accenture’s software, right?

But when $program is broken under linux, it’s $program’s falt, never the falt of linux.

I’d like to mention that Microsoft ran extended ad campaigns basically claiming how Windows Server has superior reliability to Linux because the London Stock Exchange (briefly) ran it.

I’d also like to mention that the Windoze-based London Stock Exchange system was co-created by Accenture AND Mafia$oft.

Good job at pointing fingers though. “Waaaah! It’s all Accenture’s fault!”
