Win2000 is supported starting with 7.02. I haven't run anything but NT
or Win2000 for several years, so I cannot compare to Win98. Overall, MS
is stable. There is, however, two cases where MSPro will randomly lock
up on me. (I'm running with eSignal)
1. loading multiple charts at the same time (typically at startup, when
the work space is restored). I now have MS PRO come up with no open
charts
2. More than a handful of charts open in Real time. MSPro runs out of
cycles on my 450MHz if I want it to update the charts with every tick.
Only by disabeling "Live Bars" does it work fairly reliably.
I actually suspect that MSPro have a bug in the multi threading code
that locks up. It appears more often on Win2000, since win2000's
thread-scheduler is much better than win98's.
