What is Platform?
| Cross-platform |
|
The ability of a document, file or program to be executed or observed from more than one operating system. Typically platforms include MAC (Apple Macintosh), PC (IBM compatible), and UNIX (a common system used by many Internet service providers). Virtually all Internet web pages and documents and all e-mail is cross-platform, meaning you don't need a particular machine to view it. But web page creation is almost always done using platform specific software even though the output is cross platform capable. |
