O.K. I understand your meaning now. The original comment just had me
confused.

This can be a real problem when developers get too OS-centric. There is a
tendency sometimes to believe that there is only One True Operating System
in the universe and then go forth and develop in such a way as to make it
difficult to run anywhere else. That's why I like developing a single,
monolithic application that only uses a command line and text files - you
can usually count on something like that porting readily.
