Creating own trading system

I like the most flexible trading system so choose to build my own, what is a good OS + programming + database to do so?

Windows 7 + Virtual Studio 2012 C# + SQL server 2012

or

Ubuntu + Java + mysql

or any other good choice?

just by your handle it sounds like your native language is java.. most would argue C# ... although i'm not a fan of windows.. even though i use it..
 
It's all much of a muchness, I use Postgres on Windows it's free and doesn't have the size limitations that the free versions of sql server has. You can also use C# on linux/mac via Mono.

I personally use C++/C# on windows using VS2012 express.

May be Ninja trader finds a way to "fix it", but as an individual may be very inconvenient if IB doesn't official support it.

you don't have to tell us you wanna do it in Java.. thats obvious.. haha

I don't really consider Java at this moment because seem like IB suggests API through TWS, which means I need to turn on the TWS. Then may be I better work in Windows environment? Then C# should have better performance and easier, faster development.
