Windows 3000 will be rather good. Microsoft will have finally caught
up. It'll even have a Unix emulator, but it won't work that well
because they put some non-standard commands in it that will only work
with Windows. A Mac emulator will be coming 'real soon'.
The newly released Tradestation 3000 still has a LOT of bugs even
though OmegaII, Inc. says it is perfectly stable and that users report
nothing but good experiences with it. A new 'Virtual Floor Trader' has
been added with the latest in visual and kinesthetic bells and
whistles, but has especially bad problems, with more than a dozen
traders reporting serious bodily injuries. It is a real memory hog,
too, and requires about 32 Terabytes of memory even though OmegaII
says it needs only one Terabyte. And most users say it needs more than
32,000 processors to keep up with the data feed. Notice - Tradestation
3000 will no longer be supported in 3001 when OmegaII becomes
GoForBroke.com and changes its business model once again.
