The resulting bytes for a Windows machine is different from a linux, Apple or anything else. So in order for your app to be available on other platforms, you will need that platform to compile on... now it's possible you may (MAY) be able to write-once and compile everywhere with little to no changes... but I suspect there are just enough variations in the platforms where some minor tweaking between the different versions. There's a reason the Netflix app on my Wii works differently from the version I have on my Roku...

Unless things have changed - which is very much possible. I'm not convinced they have though.

I agree, but cross-platform is possible. You just place conditional logic where it is applicable..
