Check out <http://gpg.com/cnme/0496/file91.html> Some excerpts:

"Certain major banks across the world are counting the cost of an 
ill-judged migration to Microsoft's Windows NT. The two banks, the 
Commonwealth Bank of Australia and the National Westminster Bank 
(NatWest) in the UK planned to move to NT for strategic systems projects."

"... the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, a key Windows NT user site, has 
sacked the manager responsible for its introduction because of 
implementation failures and spiraling costs.

A few years ago Microsoft started asking "Where do you want go today?" 
Well, I'm sure these companies didn't want to go where it took them :-)
