I haven't paid a lot of attention to cross-platform recently; has the write
once--run anywhere philosophy of Java improved or is it still World vs
MrBill (aka MS) vs Macintosh?

Are you writing software for use by the ATM?

We have a problem in that there are a lot of different operating systems
in use by ATM's, but most applications for design and so on are specific
to one operating system.

If you write OS-specific software, it can be hard to port to another
system, and it may not be possible if the author doesn't want to release
source code, while also not having expertise or equipment for other
systems.
