    98% of Traders Fail? Says Who...?

    To put this into prospective, 1 $NT = 0.03 U.S. dollars. That is, only 0.5% earned more than $7500 /year. And that was in "raging nineties".

    64-bit vs 32-bit

    It's hard to compare. Many services (prefetch, superfetch, aero, audio, wireless, indexing, thumbnail generation, speech recognition, offline files, multimedia scheduler, smart card support etc) are switched off by default in Server.

    64-bit vs 32-bit

    All perceived difference is purely psychological :) Server 2008 is exactly same code as Vista, except UI and multimedia features stripped off.
