I don't know you well enough to know whether you're trolling here or 
really mean what you're saying... ;) If the latter is the case: avoid 
terms like "definitely" and "only". For example Perl and Python are 
platform independent at the same level. Both are modern languages having
perfect Gtk+ bindings which make platform independent GUI development 
really comfortable, including RAD with Glade.

But besides this: targeting Windows should have the lowest priority for
transcode in my opinion.

This is so unbelievable it really makes me think you're kidding... ;)
