| - | A **Platform** is an overloaded term and depends on the context it is used in. Sometimes, Platform refers to just the hardware (i.e., x86, 68000, CISC, RISC, ARM, etc.), other times it can refer to the Operating system (i.e., Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS), sometimes it can refer to the run-time environment provided by the programming languages used (i.e., C, C++, C#, Java or .NET), while othertimes it can refer to the networking used to connect computers together (i.e., [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:t:tcp]]/[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:ip]]/[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:u:udp]], [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:bluetooth]], [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:z:zigbee]]). | + | A **Platform** is an overloaded term and depends on the context it is used in.

This could result in hundreds if not thousands of combinations of platforms. This can quickly become a maintenance nightmare with versions that can almost change daily to apply patches. |
