Q How does the Operating System affect performance?
On the same specification machine Windows NT provides the best overall performance. It is
understandable that newer, larger Operating Systems run slower on the same specification machine.
This is not usually a problem as newer operating systems are usually delivered on newer specification
machines.
FINS Gateway drivers for particular networks operate consistently across all operating systems.
OMRON recommend Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional for the following reasons:
- Better security
- Better stability
- Better multitasking
- Better DCOM configuration
