If you learn wxWindows you'll be able to compile programs for Windows,
Linux, and, I believe Macs from the same source code. Everything you need is
opensource and there are inexpensive tools to help, too.

Instead of limiting yourself to "Microsoft" Windows users, you'll be
expanding your potential to include Linux "Xwindows" users too. And,
possibly, helping to provide the public with OS choices. "We can't use Linux
(or Mac) because it doesn't run Patrick's "Spectacular Can't Run Our
Business Without It Software", Oh, I see it does" ;-D

Just my 1/2 cent worth; off my soap box now.
