"NT causes banking crisis

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. ...

Senior bank officials could no longer justify 'wasting' the bank's money
on internal IT, said the source. NatWest declined to confirm or deny that
the eventual roll-out of RBP to 650 branches would not now be on the NT
platform. ...

The NatWest deal was significant for Microsoft because it marked the
firm's first move into the enterprise-wide IT solutions area. 

And, on the other side of the world, 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.  
NT's future at the bank is now in doubt after Brian Morris, Assistant GM,
lost his job. The bank's management team was unimpressed by the failure to
realise projected productivity savings, which reduced the bank's profit
growth compared with its competitors. ...
