Portable software can do that. IE. it can work on unix or windows.

Cross platform refers to software that works on different operating
systems
such as:

"AdobeŽ AcrobatŽ v6.0 Professional software enables business, creative,
and
engineering professionals who work with graphically complex documents to
improve the reliability and efficiency of business-critical document
exchange"
Shaun writes: Ah, Baph, I dont think the answer is that "complicated",
don't get me wrong that may be correct terminology also, but I think my
professor is looking for more the lines of "portable" I just wanted to see
if anyone else could come up with that word without any multiple choice. By
the way is what you gave the same as portable?

Java is a language that can be programmed to be portable, ie, it can work on
both windows and unix.

C and C++ are languages that work on both Windoze and Unix
(and MacOS for that matter), Fortran is a language that
works on both Windoze and Unix, TCL, Perl, Pascal, Probably
many other languages work on both Windoze and Unix as well.

What's special about Java?

1) The hype.

No, apart from the hype!

2) Sun Microsystems have fought to retain ownership of the
language and especially, of the standard platform API,
despite the best efforts of Microsoft.

3) Sun have always been meticulous about making the standard
platform API be complete (most programmers never need to
work around it*) and "OS Neutral."

4) Sun have always resisted the temptation to make anything
work better or deliver extra features when running on
their own operating system. (You KNOW what microsoft
would've done).

5) Each new release of Sun's reference implementation has
been simultaneous for all supported operating systems.
Noone gets a head start.

6) Um... I forget. There's probably more reasons, and
you probably can thank Sun for all of 'em.

(*) Unless, maybe, they need low-latency access to a serial
port :-(

Did not say there was. Was only using it as an example.

No, apart from the hype!

And MS still finds way to impede the Sun version of Java from working with
windows with full compatibility.
