EVERY OS!

that is the ONLY way to perfection
make non os specific apps!

Nope.
PowerPC chips, for example, are Big-endian, while x86 chips are Little-endian.  Given the binary number 101101100, a Mac's G5 will think that the leftmost decimal place is the lowest, so it will evaluate this number to be 109.  On a Dell with a Pentium, it will think this number is 182, since the rightmost decimal place is the lowest.  Similar stories will be seen in other architectures - I think SPARC and AIX are big-endian too.
