The rate you do the things you do...

I have a feeling this will raise more questions than answers, but here
 goes...


I'm trying to cut through the hype and understand whether Windows NT
can support "simulation software" rates in the 30-60Hz range.  We have
a, um, enthusiastic MS supporter that sez, "Sure, no problem!".
Before I expend labor hours attempting to prove them wrong (or right,
for that matter), I'd be interested in feedback from anybody else in
this community that has gone through such a venture yet.  We're not
looking for hairy details, just a general range for now (tops out at
10Hz? 5Hz?).  I personally am VERY leery of a "business-based" OS
being able to support real-time scheduling rates, but we have a lot of
management pressure to examine PC-based COTS products for future
approaches.  This ain't my idea, folks, but I do have a professional
responsibility to shoot it down^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H examine its
potential :-)
