A friend of mine wrote a demonstration program which was an NT ring-0 kernel driver
which just toggled the voltage at the internal
speaker; when the machine was quiescent, the speaker emitted a constant 1 KHz hum.
As soon as he started to move a window around
on the screen the frequency dropped and if the window was moved fast enough it sounded
like the speaker stopped completely. There's
no possible way to do hard real-time programming in NT because the wrong tasks have
the highest priority: screen update is higher
than a kernel timer!
If you can disconnect the keyboard and mouse and guarantee that no other tasks are
running, pseudo real-time is possible in NT. But
I wouldn't use it for anything the least bit important.

Subject: [rtl] stability of OS clock
> Dear All:
> I have two questions:
> 1. Is there a tool or someone else that compare rtlinux and
>windows NT on realtime (I want to use
win NT for control a device and I want to know if the clock of NT is
stable or not!);
> 2. If there isn't a tool, how can I try to test the effectivness stability of
>the clock of win Nt?.
> Thanks for all.
