   Byron has made a decision already: he'll sell the software
to those unfortunate men who "are stuck" at MS Windows,
old, current and future versions.
   If you're to sell the software, you must guarantee
Max compatibility; I doubt that cross-platform development
tools  could help this much (did he tell he wanna use system
Windows things, DLLs, callbacks and all?) .

   Just market considerations, not an attempt to glorify MS.

Mike.
