Do not you understand that my wishes to you indicate I believe that to be a
difficult task, certainly more than I am willing to undertake?
I'm wondering why you always seem to be pushing the idea that developers
ought to be coding for the dominant platform, or even that developers ought
to be coding in order to garner the largest number of users for their
application.
Especially since Linux developers, unlike Windows developers, already take
more pains upfront to make their applications cross-platform. Which is a
nice crutch for Windows users.
