Cross-platform connectivity, is the ability for one type of computer to link to and share data witha different type of computer.

Short answer: Not always. Different programs and aplications are designed for different tasks. Now, is X software available for Y operating system? That is another topic. Computing Tasks: - Gaming, Office and Accounting Tasks, Development, Digital Marketing, Design, Audio/Video Edition, etc... are all CROSSPLATFORM (meaning it can be done in any OS). Desktop OSs, today, are more compatible with those kind of tasks, but many of them can be performed in mobile OSs too. The question is more related to Hardware than Software/OS. For example, if you're a Hardcore Gamer, you'll need a very "strong" machine with a very good graphic card (it doesn't matter if you'll have the latest versión of MS Windows/OSX/Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux distro). Hardware requirements change if you only want to use your device to check your email, video streaming sites and social networks.
