Your question in and of itself kind of gives you your answer. Most people who are in the financial sector are using Windows, as Linux isn't quite ready for the corporate desktop, and most financial software isn't designed to run under Linux even if it were. Hence, if you have to look this hard, it probably isn't worth it for IT professionals to look.

I'd love to see Linux become more mature, but for now, it's basically a tool for tinkerers, and not generally widely used in a corporate environment for the desktop.
