[QUOTE="gilesjuk, post: 383388, member: 29394"] Indeed. The original post doesn't make clear if the programming is just general programming or programming for a specific OS. If you want to make use of Microsoft classes and libraries then you need to program on Windows with VC++. If you want to do general C++ programming using the standard C++ libraries then you can do so on most OSes. However once you start using threads this is where the OSes will differ. Unix systems typically provide a fork() call which creates a new thread. With Windows you use another more fiddly method. [/QUOTE]
