If you give me $5 per Unix system found there I can retire here and now.
For financial transaction processing, and the customer's accounts?
Yes. Go and visit the London City and check their computer rooms.
You will be surprised about the number of UNIX boxes. You don't
think IBM, HP, Sun etc sell their UNIX machines just to ISPs or..?
But are those Unix servers actually processing bank transactions and
holding customer accounts?

I'm sure some do. Others run theirs on VMS.
Any idea what downtime costs per hour on those systems?
A lot.
