NT for Linux ... ?

[mkundi]

NT for Linux ... ? I know NT is based on Microsoft .NET / VB, however, do u have plans to porting it over to Linux. It would be lots of fun to have a Linux version.

Any hope for NT on Linux?

"The Mono project is announcing that it has developed a Visual Basic compiler that will enable software developers who use Microsoft Visual Basic to run their applications across multiple platforms without any modifications to the code. The new Mono Visual Basic compiler allows developers to continue to code in their preferred Visual Basic/Visual Studio environment and compile and run that same code base on a variety of operating systems and architectures, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS."

Has anyone tried running Ninjatrader using vine? http://www.winehq.org/

Thank you for your post.

I haven't heard anything from users about Wine at this time.

Vista seems to be aggravating so many people (the second coming of Windows ME?), major companies such as Intel refusing to transition to it, and Microsoft trying to speed up the release of Windows 7 does not indicate good things for the Microsoft operating system business. Will NT be offered for any other operating systems or platforms, such as MAC? I am sticking with XP for the forseeable future. The last thing that I need is an unstable trading system. How long will NT versions be designed to function fully on XP?

Also, this is not meant to be a snide post, but it is a little selfish. I think that that NT is a great trading platform and I have put a lot of time and effort into learning it, programming indicators, etc. It is running great and fast and I just want to make sure that it stays that way. It makes me very nervous when Microsoft feels that they can dictate the OS (by killing XP and trying to force people to an unpopular OS). It is important to me that NT remain fast and stable. Thanks.

Can I just echo the request for Linux/Mac support. Love your platform, but I'm not prepared to trade from Windows.

Hi,
I have tried it but it requires some files(.dll's) that are native to windows. So I use it within Virtual box under win 2K Pro- that works perfectly. Data appears to stream faster and obviously more secure as long as you don't share your drive with the windows!
All behind a decent firewall too!(Shorewall)
Love Linux! PCLOS2008 minime fan.

Also tried it with Suse and VMWare Server - works well. Difficulties come with BSD systems- that is a shame! As they do not have much MS compatability with their OSes.
Not tried any other Linux vartiants.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Dierk. One of the things that I have found great about NT is the excellent customer support provided by the NT team and NT community. My questions/comments have always been addressed quickly and in a straight forwad manner.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

You're welcome.

I would like to echo this request. NT on Linux would be more than cool...
