Banks have moved to linux from paid o/s yet they continue to shell out for KDB (and the dev are not cheap either).

Why did they move a whole o/s platform but not from kdb?

I assume to keep licensing current to support legacy code. I would be surprised if much revenue comes from new installs

KDB is the tool of choice on new projects. Also, $12.5k a core these days (last I checked).
