Pedant Point: Linux per se is probably relatively
uninteresting to Wall Street (except for highly techie
types like me :-) ), though many distros are highly useful.
However, if even the NSA is interested in Linux, NYSE could
do worse, though Windows XP is usable enough if one enfolds
it in enough stuffing so that the malware doesn't get through.
But Linux doesn't need nearly as much stuffing. :-)
