What about the ex-CEO of the London Stock Exchange with their whole TradElect debacle:

- zdjohn 15y agoIt happened on 2008 but the failed platform is Windows Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server 2000. There is one big problem in the that event called "Update"!
- archangel_one 15y agoI'm not sure I understand you fully - are you suggesting that the main problems with that project would have been solved by simply updating to Windows / SQL Server 2008? I can't believe that would possibly be the case.
- zdjohn 15y agoWhat I mean is, there is obvious a negligence in the system solution that used in this case, especially for LSE. No system would be working for ever without proper systematical update and tuning. Every system has flaws from time to time. Based on the Server they use, they are at least 5 years behind the time. Why they keep sticking with it? That is the question I have in first place. I am not defending MS. But I don’t think LSE off load MS systems, is purely just because it’s Microsoft. y
