USA Today has an extensive report up today on Linux's progression into key financial and creative markets.
"Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse First Boston and others are scoring results like Dresdner's with Linux pilot projects. IBM -- an early and big backer of Linux -- recently opened a Manhattan office to promote Linux among its financial services clients. And Reuters is deploying Linux servers to process the data and news widely used on Wall Street to make real-time trading decisions. 'It's the start of something big,' says Mark Hunt, Reuters' director of standards. 'If you can use Linux in financial services, you can use it for anything.' "
