Re: [omnetpp] OMNeT++ on Windows or Linux

["J. Daniel Garcia" <jdgarcia at xxx>]

I am not sure of the reason for discarding Win platforms.

I have developed a simulation framework last year and my approach was:
* Develop and debug on WinXP.
* Run long simulations in a Linux based cluster.

I never had any portability issue. For me, one key criteria for 
selecting OMNeT++ was this portability. Of course you need to write only 
ISO C++. But that should be the approach anyway.

Best regards!
