I've found it much easier to build in portability from the beginning.
If you want a program to run on several variants of UNIX, build in
the portability from the start by giving each of the development team
a different workstation. This way, they have a vested interest in
keeping it running on each of the different platforms, all the time.
Microsoft's team did not do this, and it is probably to their detriment.
