We tried. Most of the original sites used AIX on RS/6000 servers and workstations. The Y2K AIX fixes wouldn't work on older hardware and when the sites looked at the costs to replace it they discovered Windows. In house we developed on Linux and then tested on AIX. The Makefiles had a few tweaks for the AIX and Linux builds. The biggest pain were the geo databases that had to be converted from big to little endian but that wasn't a big deal. In other words, we had a complete working and tested Linux solution. Only two sites went that way, because the administrators were Linux fans. For the rest we used the NutCracker runtime, sort of a commercial Cygwin, to port Unix code to Windows, including running an X server for the Motif GUIs. Perhaps the sales force didn't try hard enough but Windows won out so we spent years working around Windows problems. In later years many sites went to Esri for their GIS and that cinched it. Esri was very Windows centered and their C++ API was wrapped around COM. They tried a Linux port emulating COM in Java that was a disaster and was dropped.
