I was just curious, besides the APIs and DLLs, etc, what is the difference between C++ compiled in windows, and C++ compiled in linux? Is it just the OS interrupts used in the machine code or what?

Here is a list of file formats -- there might be more, I don't know. I didn't know a.out was a file format -- just thought it was a filename.
