Can we call any took “multi-platform” before it works in Linux?… I don’t think so.
On the other hand, if it works with Linux, who cares about it being “multi-platform”? I mean, Linux itself is multi-platform the way I see it, across different processor architectures. It’s not like you need a “CE”, a “ME” or a “NT” version of each program in the planet, you know…
it’s so hard to compile… not for end user yet! I hope we have a smart version working under linux!
