My platform hopping was very unusual... and not a business strategy. I had always been fascinated by the NeXT platform, and when it became available for (very expensive configurations of) 80486 PCs I had to try it. I did manage to get the dev kit half price from another programmer who had purchased it but then got a lucrative contract in a different direction. But I wrote a book about the Microsoft stuff. It didn't generate any royalties, but it landed me a couple of jobs, and I figure it worked for me. I wouldn't recommend it as a strategy.
