Nah, Matt. Cross-platform apps encourage keeping Windows dominant.
Although some forms of cross-platform (e.g. Cygwin) are slow as hell on
Windows XP.
Do an "rm -rf" of the same nested directory with a lot of files on cygwin
and on Linux itself, and you'll see.
The Linux rm is orders of magnitude faster.
