| Hi,
In my opionion, you'll have a hard time getting this to work. Using ANSI
C++ and the correct libs, you can certainly develop cross-platform apps,
but if you use Microsoft products you'll be locked tightly into Windows
and associated proprietary technologies. Apple have switched to OpenBSD,
but have put their own proprietary rubbish on top so it's a waste of
time. Check out Solaris and FreeBSD for servers, and Linux for clients.
Solaris is not open source yet though, and the parts released so far are
probably just a con to get people interested, then they'll pull the rug...
If you want an example of how to kick some serious cross-platform ass,
check out www.xvid.org
