I know a few people who worked on the project and from what I've heard that the London Stock Exchange contracted Accenture to rebuild their system and they've decided to use .NET as the underlying architecture. Now this was European "flagship" project of Accenture for the last few years but it didn't quite work out. I'm assuming (I don't know for sure) that the reasons behind the failure of the project were more like managerial issues as opposed to technical issue; like feature creep and overengineering and generally being enterprisey. I suppose they decided to scrap the project and start from scratch. In a situation like this (huge failure, firefighting and starting again) it might make sense to start again on a different platform if only for psychological reasons.
