Fred--

<<Microsoft makes big claims to be all over Wall Steet. As the E-Trade disaster today and yesterday painfully
displays, NT does not cut the mustard. NT is great as a low end gui-app server for information, etc., but once
you enter into the domain of "real-time" trading you need the horsepower, security and scalability to run your
business. Many NT systems out there are being run into the ground by the explosive increase in volumes. The
network messaging infrastructure is not up to par to handle these incredible volumes. >>

Can you verify that eTrade uses NT software to run their online trading system? Per a link provided here on what eTrade is using, it mentioned Netscape Enterprise software on Sun Solaris hardware. In fact, according to the same link service, Schwab uses the identical set up for their web online trading.
