Just because the public website of the NYSE are running on either
Solaris or Windows, that doesn't have any relevance to what operating
systems power the internal trading system. What's more interesting in
that article, considering part of the problem is blamed on the trading
system server, is that the article specifically doesn't mention what
powers the internal trading system of the NYSE.
