Well, I think that this is possible on just about any platform - it just
means that the software vendor needs to do the work to make it as seamless
as is possible. I've had apps install nicely on WinNT and pop up and run
just fine and present me with an interface I could recognize & work with
right from the start. I've also had apps that did the same on VMS with a
command line interface. Its just a matter of taking the time to make it work
properly and use whatever interface is customary on the platform of
interest.
