@51 I agree with all points you made but let's clarify: GNU Linux is not all roses either! It neither has the best network stack nor is it snappy or performant (at least not as it could be). The issue of non-snappiness is just the way the OS implements services. There is no separate thread for the GUI/window/panel like it was/is in BeOS/Haiku, so if you want snappiness, you would prefer those to GNU Linux. But where does it stop? Every OS has its pros and cons simply because they are made as a general-purpose OS, not as a specialized OS for a specific task like trading. IIRC, there was a thread where SC discussed creating their OS because of all the GP OS's shortcomings. People would still complain if someone offered something like that: where is my messenger, my office suite, why can't I play games? People must accept that software comes with limitations if they want GP solutions, just like purpose-built solutions. The main question remains: is it fast enough?
