Although I don't expect to use the software myself, I can see a situation where something like this might be helpful. Suppose you're a casual Mac user, and you've got a friend who knows a little Windows. Neither of you is an expert, and you want to share some files. If you know how to set up and use this program, the fact that it works the same on Windows can help you get your friend up and running too.
Unfortunately, the need to understand platform-specific issues of firewall configuration destroys a large chunk of this potential value. I wonder if future versions could help automate that process in a cross-platform way?
