Then "cross-platform" now means "Windows and MacOS" and Linux stops making the "platform" list?

[wtetzner]

I always thought cross-platform meant "more than one platform", but I guess I don't really know if that's how it's typically used.

I almost exclusively use Linux, and I would call any Windows + Mac app cross-platform.

Does it run on more than one platform? If yes, it's cross platform.

Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Linux? BSD? Haiku? Minix?

If it doesn't run on BeOS, it's not cross platform!

[criley2]

I mean, yes. Functional cross-platform doesn't mean "every single platform ever", and hitting 98% is a fantastic target.

Listen, I love linux, and it's not MY fault that the year of the Linux Desktop never came and that its marketshare has continued to fall against its competitors.

In the commercial desktop software realm, that's what cross-platform has always meant.
