LinuxOrbit interviews Charles Northrup, CTO for Global Technologies and the
lead developer on the GNOME port to Windows. “The first software product we worked with was U/WIN as a common operating environment between all the
various UNIX platforms, and windows. The rationale for this product line is simple: the incompatabilities
between UNIX and Windows source code have a strong negative influence on the application development
community. We either develop for UNIX, or develop for Windows. Far too often the selection is exclusive of
the opposing operating system.”
