I'm very confused by this comment. There are a ton of other things you need to implement if you want to have desktop applications. POSIX does not specify any APIs for graphical applications. You might be thinking of something else.

If you want to support the lion's share of desktop applications, it would actually be better to implement the Win32 API...

Sorry, I meant software in general but wrote "desktop applications" instead. Anyway the sentence is still valid, even if you'll have to implement other things such as the graphical interface, the POSIX compliant code won't need modification

If you're taking an app built for Linux or GNU or BSD, then it probably will need modification, as those systems have various extensions on top of POSIX.
