The fact of cross platform support is indeed not confusing. What I wnated to say is, if I go to the average guy and tell him, he will just not understand. If I tell him, 'Linux runs on your PC and your friends Mac,' then he will understand. If I tell him 'Linux runs on PC, PowerMac, UltraSparc, Alpha, ARM, ...' then he will just stop to listen anymore (or read an article).
When I meat my friends who do 'suit jobs' like marketing and try to tell them, they will not listen after the first word they do not grasp. The press release has to be as easy to understand as possible (That does not count the use of buzzwords --- but that is an entirely other story with those businessmen).
regards, Robert
