    What do you want to use, and what do you need to accomplish?

    If you stick to API functions that work for both OS families then your compiled binary will run on both OSes.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    Most of the APIs will work cross platform. Thats why I wanted to know what you are trying to do, and/or what you are trying to use.
