"Unix is terrible for transaction processing and DP processing by banks and 
insurance companies."

I've heard this before.  Why is this so?  And does putting a U**x on top
an OS that does do good transaction processing solve the problem?  Would a 
native Unix with a kernel optimized for TP fall down on program-development
functions?
