One thing people do not realize about Microsoft products is just how poorly designed and exceptionally user unfriendly they are.

When you run into a problem with them and you have to do updates and re-installations, resets, and complex changes in the registry and this and that is all due to the very disorganized and complex design of their products to begin with.

Sierra Chart has drastically more orderly and stable architecture.

This is why, we only use the most basic functionality in the operating system.

For example, all of the windows in Sierra Chart, are drawn by Sierra Chart code. For example,, the Trade Activity Log, and Message Log windows, are all drawn by Sierra Chart and do not use any operating system controls like list boxes which are very inefficient and buggy.


What Sierra Chart uses are nothing more than just plain windows. The use of controls is quite limited to just tab controls and edit controls and basic dialog controls.
