Well, that depends if there are proper tools-possibilities to do the same kind of things as it is possible with Windows API.
All you Linux and OS X guys, could you recommend me anything or have any ideas/tips related with these platforms? Maybe there's some external tools already available to mess with windows if there's no direct access from Ruby? Of course if anyone would like to contribute their own code, i'd be happy to accept that pull request :) Also, i'd have to say that i'm pretty dumb when it comes to window managers in those OS-es, but i'm eager to learn :) I have always thought that the main advantage over Selenium is Watir's easy-to-use and nice API.
