| | Intel® Cross-Platform Manageability Program |
| | Through the Intel® Cross-Platform Manageability Program, Intel is implementing standards-based core platform-manageability and automation capabilities into a variety of Intel building blocks-including components and platforms for cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablets, notebooks, desktops, servers, routers, switches and storage input/output (I/O) devices. | | | Over the next few years, new platform-management capabilities will emerge in Intel platforms, supported by a common interface to management software utilities, consoles and frameworks. | | | Intel® Active Management Technology is the technology underlying the cross-platform manageability capabilities that Intel is building into its platforms through the Intel® CPMP. |

| | The Cross-Platform Manifesto |
| | I recall the judge gave other examples, for example IBM's support of Lotus (Notes is a Windows-independent platform, and Microsoft gave IBM a lot of grief on their license terms for bundling Windows with IBM computers). | | | Microsoft feared all of these technologies because they facilitated the development of user-oriented software that would be indifferent to the identity of the underlying operating system. | | | I chose quite freely, knowingly, to initially become a Mac developer because I felt it was a better platform, and when I chose to become a BeOS developer I felt that I actually had a significant role to play in making Be succeed and providing users with a real choice. |

| | darron schall :: XUL + Flash = Cross Platform Projectors |
| | Because Netscape is platform nuetral, and because XPCOM enables interaction with the OS, it seems natural to marry the.swf plugin with XPCOM to create cross platform *desktop* applications, running on top of Mozilla (but transparent to the end user). | | | It might be possible that you have a slower computer and that enable_fscommand needs to be called after a longer period of time has elapsed. | | | As I said, I didn't have a chance to test this on a Mac, but because Mozilla is cross platform, it should work in theory. |

| | Although the target systems chosen are the ones used in Design Technology at Intel, our solutions are applicable to other cross-operating systems. | | | These tools have to work together on a shared design database while effectively utilizing common infrastructure scripts, despite the fact that each computing platform supports a different scripting environment. | | | However, due to the complexity of migrating UNIX*-centric legacy CAD tools and scripts to an NT environment, a mixed operating system platform for CAD design has become a computing reality. |
