OT: OM (Scandinavian stock exchange)

This was in the BBC WBR this morning. The stock exchanges in scandinavia
are getting together to become more important (except for Norway which
has not yet accepted to join in).

The head of the OMX exchange was interviewed, and he mentioned that one
of the biggest assets was the OM technology which it had sold to over 60
stock exchanges around the world and that they would most certaintly
continue to leverage that asset.

While for HP, this is not relevant because, with NSK and VMS, it has
pretty much locked up the stock exchange market, for the VMS group, this
is good news (assuming OM continues to push for VMS as the choice platform).
