The proprietary vendor's tend to make sure developers only develop only for their platform, or as few other platforms as possible. Through the use of highly platform integrated development tools IE: MS-Visual {C,C++,C#,Basic,etc etc.}. You *COULD *theoretically run some Windows software on the Win32 emulator Wine,... BUT its pretty hit and miss. While some games run flawlessly, more complex things like business software with DB backends (Usually MS-SQL :( here in South Africa) are just not worth trying to get onto another platform.
