ROFL...

Fastest I've seen is TWS running on 64 bit Java (tried it a few days ago).

Ads don't crash my browser, but like in 50% cases when I load ET forum main page I have a bug in FF3 that it shows only flash ad and nothing else... Fix is to push a "back" button and then normal page loads... But still this is pretty annoying especially considering I don't experience such a...

Shared my Vista experience on a Q6600 machine with 4GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 3750 videocard here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2067016#post2067016 But that's 32bit Vista... Don't know about 64-bit but guess if hardware drivers are compatible the rest shouldn't be...

Basic DSL + dialup available through the landline phone + G3 CDMA mobile phone + GSM mobile phone (two last working as modems when connected to computer).

It does without any problems, as well as other trading/charting software (I've tried a lot just out of curiousity to see if it works under Vista)... I know it sounds funny as I advocated Linux just a few days ago in some Vista related threads, but things happened in such a way that I've...

Pathetic... At least ET could use some kind of "quality filter" for sponsors, otherwise it harms it's reputation so much (and already harmed)... I have nothing against decent sponsors such as IB, Tradestation or like that, but going as low as promoting other FORUMS.... Sounds like...

One more thing I forgot to add: people for some reason are OK with the fact that when they install Windows on a computer w/o OS, they most likely will need to separately install a bunch of drivers for their h/w to work. Install security software, then install a lot of other stuff to be able...

Yip, Russia... Siberia if more exactly. :D Now as for security. My main point here is the following: EVERY XP user who's in her/his mind needs to do at least one of TWO things to avoid getting malware on a critically important machine: 1). Use trading computer for trading only. Being...

Exactly! Impossible to proove NON-existence of a virus based on the only fact that you don't see it... :D P. S. I mentioned it was half-joke, so please don't take things so seriously, it's 1AM here now and I'm not much tuned up for rhethorical exercises... But fact which makes my joke just...

Not seeing them doesn't mean you're not infected... :D That's half joke really, but only half, cause you can't be sure using such a system almost without internal security at all as XP.

True about backups but dont forget - keyloggers and other malware can be a serious pain in the ass too... Even worse than virus. As for #2 - I simply shared my opinion about Linux. For me it works excellently right from the start... I have no reasons to promote it, nobody pays me for it... So...

And I've never had h/w compatibility issues or other nightmares which are told about Linux (like having to recompile a kernel :) )... Posted a list of all what works right from the start on my Linux box in one of previous posts... Stability - some have issues, other have not, but mind you...

My main reasons for Linux are stability (espec. Java apps), security (not as pathetically vulnerable to all kinds of attacks as Windows) and respect to user (Linux updates at least inform me what exactly is updated and don't force to reboot when it's least comfortable to do). Would I pay $100...

I've installed Ubuntu 8.04 on an Acer Aspire laptop. Well, HP printer/scanner combo connected with by USB works just fine and didn't require even a second of setting it up! Connecting Bluetooth GSM phone (both for mobile internet and sending/receiving files) works! And it didn't work so...

Windows is so popular due to policy of pre-installing Windows on new computers... But as more people get familiar and more educated about computers they use, more will also look at alternatives... At least I hear more and more people trying Linux... It wasn't so just a year ago yet, but it is...

Yeah, good idea is to try it on a separate machine or at least separate partition (with a double boot enabled), get used to it and then prolly move completely. As for MT4 - understood. I also use it with it's own feed just for the reference and when need to look back say a year back of 5min data.

Everything's going to be alright! :p

What's good about TWS is it is open standard based and literally OS independent (built on Java and uses TCP/IP to communicate with other s/w), so it does it so seamlessly that you will never feel the difference with running the same combo under Windows. I wish every broker would adhere to the...

Unfortunatelly I don't know if those applications run under Wine. Wine site (http://www.winehq.org/) contains AppDB which can be searched for applications to see if people successfully run them or not... Hope it helps.
