[DUG] Cross platform musings

[Phil Scadden]

More on cross-platform. Developing for the plethora of devices out there 
might be attractive, but the other area booming is the server. More and 
more computing is moving there. Now is my area so odd for NOT using 
windows in the server environment? In our myriad of servers, I think we 
have one or two that are windows for some highly specialised software. 
Everything else is linux or unix. I would love 64bit compilation- but 
would want the code to run under linux. Sadly, one of the advantages of 
C++, is that I can write and especially debug in VS, and then compile 
unaltered under 64bit linux compilers. Theoretically could do so with 
FPC but the professional C++ compilers for 64bit linux are far better.
