Nah. You put a layer above it that abstracts out the OS-specific 
information. It's no harder to build cross-platform applications in an OOP 
language because of windowing than it is because of different file systems. 
Java managed it. Tcl managed it. Nobody needs to run X on Windows to support 
either of those.
