Hah, is there such a thing???  I think if someone didn't *intend* for an
app to run cross-platform, it's actually *worse* than a static Win32 app
(at least the static, compiled app has some chance of working under Wine).

My current nemesis in the .NET world is Auctiva's MrPoster.  And since
**NO-ONE** seems interested in making a Linux-compatable offline posting
tool for eBay, I don't think I'll ever be able to move my brother's system
off Windows.  (I'm not a programmer, before someone suggests I should write
one).

Of course, Tax software is one other major headache that keeps Windows
partitions around.
