If every millisecond matters, does Linux have any REAL advantage over Windows when running C++ complied real-time algo-bot?

FIX/FAST

Task: coding real-time black-box for algo-trading on european exchange with FIX market data/order entry + CME market data coming through independent data provider (FIX interface). C++/Windows only. PM me if interested

What do you think about receiving CME data through CQG server in London?

Is the following statement true or false? If it's true, what exchanges are doing this? "It is interesting to note that some of the exchanges make sure that each co-located customer receives equal amounts of connecting cable, so that a server at the northeast corner of a facility has the same...

There is no reason to colocate in US because I'm autotrading at european exchanges. So I'm not concerned about 3-5 ms it takes for data to travel in US. What I really need is to be first to receive S&P 500 futures data in europe. How can this problem be solved?

I need IOB (International Order Book) of LSE (where GDRs are trading).

OK. Forget about "ultra-high frequency" part of my question. The only requirement for the broker is C++ API. We've got 4 brokers on the list (mentioned above): IB Genesis Lime Lightspeed Any other? Just post names, I'll do the search myself. Thanks
