We have that already. I write programs for Linux and release them on Windows by expending no effort beyond typing "make windows". > The web 2.0 apps were built because > people got tired of Microsoft monoculture.

They are too damn stupid to even recognize a correct solution when they see it, much less to use one. b) Ease of deployment. The existing web platform could be used to distribute applications without expending much effort. c) Centralized control. Being tired of Microsoft has nothing whatsoever to do with it. -- Adam D.
