Hi List,
Many of us prefer to use "older" MS OSes (Win98, WinNT4) for trading
applications. In my experience, apps like TS4 and TS2K actually run
*better* on those OSes vs the newer Win2k and WinXP. Also, NT4 is
cleaner and faster than newer OSes. But hardware support will be an
issue soon, as MS discontinued driver testing.
I plan to stock hardware (mainly graphics cards, which is the most
sensitive part, but complete PCs as well), which is currently supported
under WinNT4 and/or Win98SE to last for the next 5 years at least.
