"Your development should be targeted at Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP. We'd like all development efforts to center around Microsoft technologies." Yay! A chance to use .NET! ...Months pass.... "This looks really great! Now, we were talking today and we want to know how portable is this project to other architectures like Linux or even possibly the Mac?" Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

LOL! We had the same situation with a customer here: he specifically asked for a service running under Windows 2k/XP using "the best tools you have on this platform for performance and scalability". Ok, fun! We used NTA for COM+ and ATL7 attributed programming, thread Pools, and all those gizmos you get for server-side programming on Win2k. The resulting application is fast and small. Two months later: "Wow! You did this in C++, so, now you can port it to PalmOS!" lazy isn't my middle name.. its my first.. people just keep calling me Mel cause that's what they put on my drivers license. - Mel Feik

This is one of the reasons web applications have become so popular. You may consider going that route, which sure sounds a heck of a lot more fun (and feasible) than porting the thing. Regards, Alvaro

This is true. Our company is looking at using ASP.NET for our next version of our software. At least then even if a client wanted a client/server version for their local network, we could port it fairly easily , using C#, and not have to reinvent the wheel to do it. -Sean

MAC Server? :omg::wtf::eek: Someone's been smoking something. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Mac has come up with this 1U rack server, that is supposed to take low end Unix Servers out of the market. ;) It runs on MacOS X(core based on BSD), hence capable of running Unix based server apps without or with minimal modification.
