There is no concept of "WORKGROUP" in different operating systems. It is 
entirely a Microsoft Windows concept only. Not even all Windows machines 
belong to a WORKGROUP.

If you are developing cross-platform software it can't be required. If 
it is required then the software will only work on Windows, and you need 
to ask yourself whether a language which has direct access to 
Windows-only features might be more appropriate. That is what my clue 
was alluding to.
