Other things to avoid for Windows:

+ opening binary files in text mode (the default)

+ trying to unlink/remove a file that's still open

+ fork()

+ signals

+ file I/O, things that call malloc, things that call free, things
  that take longer to run than the Windows mean-time between forced
  reboots, binary files, text files, HTML, C, Java, Open Source,
  privacy, security, email, large files, small files, and anything
  having to do with a network

Follow these simple rules, and 100% x-platform programming is a 100%
pleasant empty set <wink>.
