Back in the mists of time when writing cross platform software for any platform (Mac, Win < 95, SunOS + xview) each platform had bugs and we’d have to take pains to workaround them. Our customers didn’t care whose fault it was.
It used to be that a single tech support call cost us any profit from 3 copies of the product.
Things are different now though - the frameworks on platforms have orders of magnitude more surface and complexity. And most small companies don’t offer 1-1 support anymore.
